What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

Some tool calls can be served remotely, meaning another host runs them for this session. How Claude Code approves those calls changed:

  • tengu_violin_eye is a new switch that is ignored when its value comes from an override.
  • tengu_violin_table is a new switch that lets Claude Code offer a permission that lasts for the rest of the session, but only when the sandbox (the setting that walls commands off from the rest of your computer) is off and your settings have no errors.
  • Approval prompts now carry a category saying what kind of question they are.
  • The second approval check also records what kind of block it applied.
  • Checks on writing files now also name settings files.

Both switches fall back to off unless they are switched on remotely. The flag server returned both on for this site's account and for a signed-out baseline; no reading has been taken under this release yet.

Why

This changes how approvals for remotely served tools are sorted and when a standing permission can be offered, and it arrives switched off by default.

tengu_violin_eye Off by default, switched on for this account

The shipped code defaults this off, and the flag server returned on for the one account this site reads on this version. That is the reading that makes the entry above worth a second look, and it still says nothing about your account.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.
