You'll notice
The status panel that shows Model, MCP, and theme now also lists the current permission mode
What
The status panel Claude Code shows (the one listing things like Model, MCP servers, and theme) now includes a row for the current permission mode, driven by a new permissionMode value passed into that panel.
Why
This lets users see at a glance which permission mode they're in — for example whether tool calls are being auto-approved or require confirmation — without having to check settings separately.
