What
Some programs embed Claude Code and show its permission prompts in their own dialog. A permission prompt is the question Claude Code asks before it runs a tool, such as editing a file or running a command. In that setup, Claude Code now keeps its own record of which can_use_tool requests it actually sent to the host's dialog.
- A request is recorded when Claude Code sends it to the host's permission prompt.
- A successful answer counts as answered in the host's dialog only if Claude Code recorded that request first.
- Once Claude Code has used that record, it is cleared, so a single answer counts one time only.
Previously, any matching answer was recorded as answered in the host's dialog, with no check that the request had gone through the host's prompt.
Why
A stray or forged answer can no longer mark a tool approval as given by a person in the host's dialog when that dialog never showed the request.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
It is not clear whether the previous build already let each answer count only once.
