Permission rules decide which actions Claude may take without asking. Claude Code now handles an answer that replaces rules like this:\n\n- Deny or ask rules are added for the current session only\n\n- Allow rules are still dropped\n\nBefore, every answer that replaced rules was dropped, the same as one that removed rules.\n\n**Why**\n\nA permission answer, including one sent from somewhere else, can now make the current session stricter. It still cannot loosen it this way.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
