That prompt, \"Allow this read outside the working directories?\", now has a fourth answer:\n\n- `allow_once`, labelled \"Yes, but ask again next time\". It allows this one read only, and the next outside read asks again.\n\n- It can come with an optional feedback box.\n\n- Choosing it sets `askAgainOutsideReads`, so Claude Code skips the step that would otherwise remember a plain \"Yes\" (\"Yes, and keep allowing any reads outside the working directories\").\n\n- It appears in the prompt on your screen as `allow-outside-read-once` and among the answers available to remote connections.\n\n- The prompt still opens when auto mode reaches its first outside read (`outside_read_first_prompt`).\n\nThe other answers and the explanation text were also reworded. Before, there were three answers, and the only \"yes\" kept allowing all later outside reads.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou can now let Claude read one file outside your project without giving it permission to read anywhere outside for the rest of the session.\n\n- Area: Auto Mode\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
