What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Writing the host credentials file, writing to memory while memory is paused, writing anywhere under ~/.claude/seed-admin, and writing adopt.json are now unconditional refusals with fixed explanations. These are not prompts you can approve, and no classifier can approve them either.
Details
Each denial carries a fixed explanation naming why the file is harness-managed.
adopt.json is described as a handoff file the harness owns.
Evidence
adopt.json is the bg-fork handoff carrier and is managed by the harness; it cannot be written directly
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
