Source Intelligence

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.

Session start records whether a permission mode was given on the command line

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Permissions

Sessions now record whether you passed a permission mode on the command line or inherited one.

--permission-mode
What

Session setup now carries a flag saying the permission mode was supplied at invocation, defaulting to true unless a caller explicitly says otherwise, so later code can tell an explicit --permission-mode from one inherited from elsewhere.

Evidence

permissionModeSuppliedOnInvocation

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