A new, hidden CLI option --inherit-permission-mode lets a spawned session inherit its permission mode from the launching process/frame instead of setting one explicitly. It is wired through argument parsing, storage (inheritPermissionModeCli), and resolution logic that propagates a permissionModeInherited flag into session state; the option is registered with .hideHelp() so it does not appear in claude --help.
When a permission mode is inherited this way, a helper decides whether to also set permissionModeInherited: true (used elsewhere to demote/soften the effective permission level) versus simply passing the inherited mode through silently.

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

A small documentation edit on Environment variables touched a line naming CLAUDE_CODE_SUBPROCESS_ENV_SCRUB after this was published.
