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.

Auto mode can classify questions instead of stopping

Auto Mode Notable not in their notes

In auto mode, a question can be classified and handled instead of halting the run.

CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_CLASSIFY_ASK_USER_QUESTION
What

In auto mode, deciding to ask on the AskUserQuestion tool no longer automatically counts as needing a human and halting the run; it can be classified and handled instead. CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_CLASSIFY_ASK_USER_QUESTION decides this if set; otherwise the server-side auto mode config's classifyAskUserQuestion value applies and is treated as on unless it is explicitly false, so with no server value the new behaviour is active.

Details
  • The old path logged a tengu_auto_mode_fallback_to_ask event and stopped.
Evidence

CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_CLASSIFY_ASK_USER_QUESTION

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