What
In Claude Code's auto mode, the internal classifier that decides how to handle a tool call now returns a classifierRan flag alongside its verdict, stating whether the classification step actually executed. The fallback logic used when the classifier refuses to answer or gives no verdict was reworked to use this new flag.
Why
This lets the fallback logic distinguish between the classifier running and abstaining versus not running at all, which should make auto mode's fallback behavior more accurate in edge cases.
