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.

Claude Code v2.1.248

New reason when a remote approval does not land: refused after an automatic approval

You'll notice

Remote Approvals

When an auto-approved remote call is refused, Claude is told to ask you to approve it directly.

What

If this session's automatic check approved a tool call and an unverifiable sender then reported it refused, the model is now told exactly that instead of getting the generic dropped or unverified-refusal message. The follow-up advice is tailored per case, telling the model to re-send the call and ask you to approve it from the terminal or desktop prompt when only a person's approval counts for that tool.

Evidence

This session's automatic check (not a person) had approved the call

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