Auto-approval classification can now fall back to a local check for third-party cloud providers when the server-side check is unavailable

What

Claude Code decides whether to auto-classify bash commands and permission decisions using a server-side check ("arbiter"), a local check, or not at all. That decision logic now distinguishes first-party API usage from third-party providers (Bedrock, Mantle, Vertex, Foundry). Previously, non-first-party usage always resulted in auto-classification being off; now it can use a new "arbiter with local fallback" mode, running the server-side check when available and falling back to a local check when it isn't.

Why

This means users on third-party cloud providers can now get auto-classification of commands and permissions where they previously got none, as long as a local fallback is available when the server-side service can't be reached or is disabled.
