What
Auto mode lets Claude act without asking you each time, relying on checks of whether an action is safe. A new check lets a verdict from the server be carried over when a turn is handed off:
- It reads
tengu_auto_mode_config(fallback null). Nothing has been read about this gate yet. - The carried verdict is taken only if
takeCarriedServerVerdictis true, the value came from a payload this process fetched, and a further helper returns false. - Before that, it may wait for the flag fetch at the start of the turn.
- When the verdict is not taken, the log says "takeCarriedServerVerdict is not on in a payload this process fetched from the default flag server".
- New usage data is recorded about the server verdict and the flag wait at turn hand-off, about refreshing files by name at hand-off, and about a conversation rewind that has expired.
Why
With no value from the server the check stays inert, so nothing changes in practice unless the setting is supplied. The new records show that turn hand-off and conversation rewind are being worked on.
