Unclear It is not clear whether auto mode's actual decisions changed or only what it records.
What
Auto mode is a permission mode in which Claude Code decides for itself whether to allow an action. Each decision sends a record to Anthropic's usage data. When Claude Code is controlling the Chrome browser, that record now carries two more details:
- Whether the action was a pointer press
- Whether a click was routed
The pointer-press detail is also sent on the quicker decision paths used when file edits are auto-approved and when a request is forwarded from the desktop app. It is filled in only for Chrome actions.
Why
This suggests auto mode now handles pointer presses and routed clicks in Chrome as separate cases.
