What

Starting an interactive cloud session now works out a model and permission mode for you rather than leaving both unset. It can seed a model automatically, keep or drop a mode from your settings, take a model from the repository, or displace a trusted plan mode, and it prints a [remote] notice when it changes something.

Details
  • Two new permission-mode sources are recorded: model_auto when the seeded model decided the mode, and model_auto_over_settings when that decision overrode your settings.
  • A tengu_remote_model_gate_hint event fires only when the decision actually did something, so a session that needed no seeding is silent.
  • No flag guards the event itself.

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