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.

Permission denials split into soft and hard

Under the hood
Useful3 Signal4
Permissions

Permission decisions can now be soft or hard denials, with reasons like unreadable rules.

What

A permission decision can now be allow, soft_deny or hard_deny rather than a plain allow/deny, and the accompanying reason list includes read_denied and rules_unreadable for cases where the rules themselves could not be read.

Evidence

["allow", "soft_deny", "hard_deny"]

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