What probably matters to youSection of the release
A new deprecation-tracking system, BATCH_2026_09, adds structured migration metadata (including an explicit effect string describing exactly what breaks) to several legacy config values. inferenceGatewayAuthScheme: "sso" is deprecated since it is no longer inferred as browser sign-in (use inferenceCredentialKind: "interactive" instead), inferenceGatewayAuthScheme: "auto" now just rewrites to "bearer", and inferenceCredentialKind: "interactive" combined with inferenceVertexWorkforceAudience is flagged as ambiguous in favor of "workforce".
As part of the same change, Vertex AI's credential kind literal "oauth" is renamed to "interactive": the discriminated-union kind and the deriveInferenceCredentialKind logic for the Vertex OAuth client ID now both return "interactive" instead of "oauth".
The legacyFlatKey aliases isDxtEnabled and isDxtDirectoryEnabled also gain BATCH_2026_09 deprecation metadata (warnFrom 2026-09-10, supportEnds 2026-10-07): after support ends, the old names will be reported as unreadable, causing desktop extensions to read as disabled (isDxtEnabled) or the directory-only restriction to silently stop applying (isDxtDirectoryEnabled).
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.
Added sinceA small documentation edit on Fullscreen rendering touched a line naming interactive after this was published.To adjust scroll speed interactively, run `/scroll-speed`. The dialog shows a ruler you can scroll while it is open so you can feel the change immediately. Press `←` and `→` to adjust the speed, `r` to reset to the auto-detected default, a…fullscreensee the edit
Confirmed sinceAnthropic's documentation has since written up interactive, on permission-policies.To answer interactively instead, use `ant beta:sessions connect`, which shows the waiting call and sends this event when you allow or deny it.
