What
The permission classifier used by auto mode attaches a beta descriptor to its API requests, where the previous build sent none. Both classifier stages now carry it.
Details
- Registers
WA("auto_mode_classifier", "auto-mode-classifier-2026-07-16")and adds it to the frozen known-betas list, so it is also reachable through the header lookup map. - In 2.1.219 the classifier's request builder was a stub that unconditionally returned an empty
extraBetasarray; it now returns this beta. - Gated on provider being "firstParty" and the base URL being api.anthropic.com. Suppressed by
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETASor hipaa mode, in which case the list stays empty.
