How Claude Code approves those calls changed:\n\n- `tengu_violin_eye` is a new switch that is ignored when its value comes from an override.\n\n- `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.\n\n- Approval prompts now carry a category saying what kind of question they are.\n\n- The second approval check also records what kind of block it applied.\n\n- Checks on writing files now also name settings files.\n\nBoth 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.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes how approvals for remotely served tools are sorted and when a standing permission can be offered, and it arrives switched off by default.\n\n- Flag `tengu_violin_eye`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.287; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, compiled default: off) 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.\n- Flag `tengu_violin_table`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.287; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, compiled default: off) 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.\n- Area: Remote Tools\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5"}
