What
Claude Code can sometimes skip prompting you for consent before using the Workflow tool (also called "ultracode", which lets Claude orchestrate multiple subagents). The check that decides whether to skip this prompt now determines the current turn's effort level through a dedicated accessor that reads it from the active permission layers, and passes it as its own explicit argument to the check for extra-high ('xhigh') effort, rather than folding it into one combined true/false value.
Why
This is an internal refactor of how the consent-skip logic determines effort level; it keeps the same kind of decision but sources the effort information more directly from the permission stack.
