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.

Permission mode is now only changeable locally

Permissions

Nothing remote can change your permission mode now; team lead requests are dropped with a warning.

What

Two paths that let something else set your permission mode are gone. The inbox poller no longer applies a mode-change request from a team lead, dropping it with a warning like it already did for team permission updates, and the remote hooks that mirrored a local mode change to the host and applied an inbound broadcast were both deleted.

Details
  • The deleted remote path also handled rejection by rolling the mode back and notifying you; that no longer exists here.
  • Unconditional.
Evidence

[InboxPoller] Dropping mode_set_request message: permission mode changes are never accepted from the inbox

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