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.

Cloud sessions retry permission-mode changes and tell you when they drift

You'll notice
Useful4 Signal2
Cloud Sessions

Permission-mode changes in cloud sessions retry, warn if they drift, and roll back if refused.

What

Changing permission mode in a cloud session now sends the change to the session and retries on a 1000/3000/9000 ms backoff if it is not delivered. If it never lands you get a notification saying the mode may be out of sync and to press shift+tab to retry; if the session rejects it outright, your local mode rolls back to the last mode the session confirmed.

Details
  • The two notifications are keyed remote-permission-mode-unsynced and remote-permission-mode-rejected.
  • Active only for a cloud session that has a control channel and is not viewer-only. No feature flag guards it.
  • The cloud-session handling was reorganised into a single object owning the active remote, message submission, slash-command availability and mode sync. Existing refusals moved onto it with unchanged wording, including the one for ! bash commands.
Evidence

'!' commands aren't available in cloud sessions yet

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