If you interrupt while that question is open, for example by pressing Esc, the action is now cancelled and recorded as stopped by you. Before, this case went through the same handling as any other answer that was not \"allow\".\n\n**Why**\n\nInterrupting a permission prompt now cleanly cancels the action Claude was about to take.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
