Under the hood
A new but currently unused appliesModeDrop: false option can bypass mode-based tool restrictions
What
The same tool-restriction logic that decides which tools get cut based on the current mode now has an escape hatch: if a new options field called appliesModeDrop is explicitly set to false, no restriction is applied at all, alongside the existing exemptions for things like plugin_install_diff and plugins_sync.
Why
This adds a way to opt specific cases out of mode-based tool restriction, though nothing yet appears to set this option, so it has no visible effect for users right now.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
The finding doesn't show anything actually setting `appliesModeDrop` to false, so it's unclear what currently uses this escape hatch.
