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.

The remote kill switch for bypassPermissions mode is gone

Permissions Notable

A remote switch can no longer force you out of bypassPermissions mode mid-session; only the admin setting does.

What

v2.1.233 had a startup check that consulted a remote flag once per process and, if it fired, forced the session out of bypassPermissions back to the default mode and marked the mode unavailable. That check and its one-shot latch are removed. The disableBypassPermissionsMode admin setting still parses and still blocks the mode.

Details
  • The removed flag name no longer appears anywhere in the build, and the latch class retains only its auto-mode half.

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