Unclear It is not clear what the new marker or the prompt-screening step changes for someone using Claude Code.

What

In auto mode, Claude Code uses a separate check, called a classifier, to decide whether an action can go ahead without asking you. The information passed to that check can now include an extra on-or-off marker in some cases. Claude Code also gained a new step for screening prompts in the interactive session.

Why

Neither change is described as altering what you see. They change what information is available when Claude Code decides how to handle a prompt or an action.

Feature flag
tengu_ax_screen_reader On for this account, and not off by default

The flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for 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.

What has happened since
Gate removed from the code v2.1.206 removed the tengu_ax_screen_reader gate from the code while it was still reading on for the account this site reads. The code path no longer asks a flag before it runs.
Gate removed from the code v2.1.179 removed the tengu_ax_screen_reader gate from the code while it was still reading on for the account this site reads. The code path no longer asks a flag before it runs.
