What probably matters to youSection of the release
Unclear Whether this dialog is active for any given account depends on the tengu_compressed_river gate, which is unread for this account, so nothing can be said about whether it is switched on.
What
When a tool tries to read a file path that falls outside your allowed-reads list, Claude Code can now show a dedicated dialog offering to allow it, block it, or ask again later, instead of just denying it outright. The permission system now carries a flag, offersBlockOutsideReads, that decides whether this new dialog appears, and denying through it records that the read was blocked for being outside the allow-list.
Why
This gives you a clearer, more specific choice when a tool asks to read something outside the paths you've allowed, rather than a generic denial.
