What

The list of application bundle IDs Claude Code refuses to drive gained torrent clients such as qBittorrent. Screenshots gained a scale factor whose description stresses that coordinates stay in the full-resolution frame, and the sentence about the frontmost application needing to be in the session allowlist is now one shared fragment reused across click, double-click, triple-click, middle-click, key, scroll, drag and move.

Details
  • app permissioning moved from a flat list of allowed apps to a grants object, queried through isEmpty() and captureAllowedBundleIds
  • which of these tools you see still depends on the computer-use surface being available to your session
Evidence

"org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent"

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