Replying to an artifact comment always asks first, and tells you whether the artifact is shared.
Comment reply permission prompts sit behind CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_COMMENTS, off by default.
tengu_teal_corbel On for this account, and not off by defaultThe flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.

What's wrong with this entry?
Replying to an artifact comment can never be auto-allowed, and the confirmation states the artifact's sharing state so the audience is clear before posting.
- Permission for
replyreturns behavior "ask" withsuppressAlwaysAllowRule, so no always-allow rule can be created. - Before prompting, the artifact's share mode is probed; the message says whether the artifact is shared, falling back to share-status-unconfirmed wording when the probe fails.
- Reading comments is allowed without a prompt, except when the read was triggered by a new-comments notification, which forces a prompt.
