What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
The format for a remote host's "needs approval" answer gained an optional block of its own permission rules. Each line is cleaned up and whitespace-collapsed, and both the count and the length of lines are capped: the allow and environment lists keep the first entries, the deny lists the last. A block that cannot be read is dropped and the request is still judged, rather than failing.
Evidence
[remote-tools] dropped an unreadable auto_mode block from a needs_approval answer; the ask is judged without it
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
