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 nudge and explainer moved, not changed

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal1
Permissions

The auto permission-mode nudge and explainer moved in code but behave the same.

What

The one-time prompt offering to switch your default permission mode to auto, and the permission explainer, both appear in rewritten code but behave exactly as in v2.1.247. The explainer remains on unless its setting is explicitly set to false.

Details
  • The nudge is shown once, tracked by a seen flag, reports through tengu_auto_default_nudge_resolved, sets permissions.defaultMode to auto on accept, and warns when auto mode is unavailable.

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