What
The skill doctor report counts weekly token usage by scanning session transcripts stored on your machine. It now asks permission first, and when refused it shows an empty count plus a note giving the reason instead of silently reporting nothing.
Details
Accompanying text explains the counts are "Not shown for HIPAA-regulated organizations", because producing them requires scanning locally saved transcripts.
The cli_skill_doctor telemetry event records scan_policy_denied in that case, alongside the existing no-user-skills case.
What the permission check consults is not visible in this build.
Evidence
scan_policy_denied, Not shown for HIPAA-regulated organizations: measured by scanning the session transcripts saved on this machine.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
