Source Intelligence

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 Notable

dialogExpiry accepts 60s, 5m, 10m or never for how long forwarded dialogs and held messages wait.

dialogExpiry
What

A new settings key controls how long a permission or question dialog forwarded to a remote client stays parked, and how long a held cross-session message waits for approval, before resolving to its safe no-action default. Accepts "60s", "5m", "10m" or "never", defaults to 5 minutes, and falls back to the default on an invalid value. Purely local prompts are unaffected.

Details
  • Resolution order: the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_USER_DIALOG_TIMEOUT_MS, then dialogExpiry, then 300000 ms.
  • Read from trusted settings sources only, and sits next to the existing askUserQuestionTimeout key with the same enum.
Usage
{ "dialogExpiry": "10m" }
