If auto mode declines an unattended artifact comment reply, the reply is dropped and you get one notice.
What's wrong with this entry?
When Claude is set up to answer comments on an artifact unattended and the session is in auto mode, the pre-flight permission check is now evaluated against your permission rules alone rather than the auto-permission classifier. The real decision happens at reply time, and if auto mode declines it, the reply is dropped and you get a one-time notice per artifact saying it was not posted.
- Drop reasons are recorded as
denied_by_auto_mode,auto_mode_no_verdict(auto mode returned nothing) andauto_mode_unavailable; the summon is markeddeclined_by_auto_modeand a singleauto_mode_declinednotice is posted per artifact. - The rules-only pre-flight applies only when no chain-on-allow, prompt-avoidance or classifier deny rule matches; those telemetry events are tagged
rules_only. - The artifact
statusaction can now report per-artifact auto-reply states "declined" and "denied" alongside armed, paused, yielded, stopped and disarmed, distinguishing an auto-mode refusal from a permission rule or setting blocking the reply silently. - The follow-up form of the notice tells Claude that only this session's acknowledgement is in the thread and that the promised reply must be reposted with
acknowledge_duplicate: true, because the duplicate guard refuses a plain follow-up.
reply_auto_mode_no_verdict, a permission rule or setting blocked the last comment's auto-reply (no notice); later comments are still checked, Auto mode did not approve an unattended auto-reply, so the reply was not posted, denied_by_auto_mode
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
