Two new reasons for holding: the sender's permission mode does not match yours, and a sender that never stated its mode into a session that bypasses prompts. Held messages appear with an explanation and, where a permission handler is wired up, an approve\/deny dialog with a preview. Approving, denying or letting it expire sends a status message back to the sender.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Behaviour is controlled by the `crossSessionInbound` setting, resolved from policy, flag and user settings, then narrowed to the most restrictive of local and project settings.\n- With no explicit setting, a session that bypasses prompts defaults to holding messages and every other session defaults to accepting them. An unrecognized permission mode fails closed to hold.\n- Hold reasons recorded are `explicit-setting`, `mode-unknown`, `mode-mismatch`, `no-mode-asserted` and `bypass-default`; held, accepted and refused outcomes are all reported.\n- The sender-mode matching half is additionally behind the `tengu_harbor_kite_mode_emit` flag, which is off in this build.\n- The approval dialog is registered as a new notification type with its own title.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`A message from another session needs your approval`, `The sender did not attest its permission mode and this session bypasses prompts. Review it below, or set \"crossSessionInbound\" to \"accept\".`\n\n- Flag `tengu_harbor_kite_mode_emit`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.224; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Cross-Session Messaging\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5"}
