What probably matters to youSection of the release

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

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.

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.

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.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

What has happened since
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns off for tengu_maple_pier, read as this account. A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
