What probably matters to youSection of the release
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.
