Previously this only worked when the session's permission mode was exactly `auto`. Now it also works in `plan` mode, subject to an additional helper check.\n\nAs a safeguard, the classifier now also checks that the permission mode hasn't changed between when the approval request was first raised and when it's actually answered, so a mode switch mid-flight can't cause an approval meant for one mode to be applied under another.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis lets more tool approvals in plan mode be handled automatically instead of always interrupting the user, while the added mode-consistency check prevents a stale approval decision from slipping through if the permission mode changes partway through.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
