What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
In autonomous mode, where Claude works on its own without stopping for you, its instructions now say to ask first only before a one-way door, meaning an action that cannot be undone. On anything reversible it should go ahead, and that includes pushing and landing a pull request you have already approved. The earlier wording said to ask only when a request was truly ambiguous.
Why
Claude will stop to ask you less often in this mode, and may push and land approved pull requests without checking with you first.
