Before, the check for reading comments only applied when one of your deny or ask rules matched.\n\nIt still applies when such a rule matches. Otherwise:\n\n- when a further condition holds, a setting decides, and that setting is on unless it is switched off remotely\n\n- when that condition does not hold, the check does not apply, as before\n\n**Why**\n\nYou may be asked before Claude reads comments even if you never wrote a rule about it.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
