Claude Code v2.1.246 ·

Permission mode is now only changeable locally

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.
