Unclear The finding does not say what the server fallback itself is or what billing it affects.
What
When auto mode cannot use server-side review, it can fall back to making its own classifier requests, which are billed. A notice warns about this first. Several changes affect that notice:
- It can now be shown when Claude Code runs inside an SDK host (another program that embeds Claude Code), provided the host says it supports the
auto_mode_server_fallbackdialog and thetengu_expressive_galaxyflag is on. That flag's built-in default is on. Before, the notice was always skipped in SDK hosts. - The dialog gains a description entry asking you to acknowledge the classifier billing notice, with Enter continuing in auto mode. Its data must now include
title,paragraphsandhelpUrlalongsidegatewayHost, so remote and headless hosts show the same text as the terminal. - When there is nowhere to show the dialog, Claude Code continues silently and logs a debug line.
- If you move on without answering, the notice now returns
continue_unacknowledged: work carries on, the remembered fallback choice is cleared so the notice can come back, and no billing acknowledgement is recorded. Only an explicit continue records one. - If the turn is stopped while the notice is showing, it returns "interrupt".
- The notice's record now notes whether it ran in an SDK host.
Why
People using Claude Code through SDK hosts or desktop apps can now be warned before classifier requests start being billed, and ignoring the notice is no longer treated as agreeing to the charge. Nothing has been read about tengu_expressive_galaxy, so whether the SDK-host notice is active is unknown.
