What
The part of Claude Code that builds the rows shown in permission confirmation dialogs now supports a directoryGrantOnly flag and a standingRowVetoed state. Together these change which "accept for the rest of this session" option, if any, is offered to the user, in addition to the existing offerBlockOutsideReads mode that limits reads to specific paths.
Why
This gives Claude Code finer control over what permission options are offered in a given prompt, so a user isn't offered a session-wide grant in situations where only a directory-scoped grant makes sense.
