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.

Permissions

In headless runs, denials now tell the model approval is impossible and not to retry.

What

In headless runs and async agents, a denial no longer just echoes the request back. The model is now told the action requires interactive approval, that permission prompts are not available in this session, and explicitly not to claim success or retry, with the original request appended.

Evidence

it requires interactive approval, and permission prompts are not available in this session

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