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.

Claude Code v2.1.232

IDE hosts can drive the auto-mode default nudge

Not switched on
Useful3 Signal4
Permissions Notable

Your editor can show and answer the prompt offering auto as your default permission mode.

The IDE-driven auto-mode nudge writes defaultMode auto into settings, but showing it needs tengu_maple_pier, off by default.

Feature flag
tengu_maple_pier Off in both readings

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

This account: off · anonymous baseline: off · compiled default in v2.1.232: on

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.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.232. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

defaultMode
What

A new handler lets an IDE tell Claude Code that the prompt suggesting auto as your default permission mode was shown or answered. Accepting writes permissions: { defaultMode: "auto" } into your user settings and marks the prompt as seen. Both events now record which surface they came from, set to ide. Showing the prompt at all requires the tengu_maple_pier flag, which is off by default in this build.
