DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.219

Generic denial message when permission prompts are unavailable

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal0
Permissions

Tool denials in background agents now say permission was denied instead of wrongly blaming don't-ask mode.

What

The async-agent path that refuses a tool because permission prompts are not available in that context now says "Permission to use X has been denied." rather than blaming don't-ask mode.

Details
  • the longer wording naming don't-ask mode still exists and is now used only by the don't-ask-mode paths
  • the two situations are no longer conflated in the message shown to the user
Evidence

has been denied because Claude Code is running in don't ask mode.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
