Unclear The condition that makes the refusal immediate is not stated, so it is unclear which prompts this affects.

What

A permission prompt is the dialog that asks whether Claude may take an action. Claude Code can deny one automatically after a set time. This release changes how that auto-deny window works:

  • Non-safety-check windows: the auto-deny timer now handles a window marked notASafetyCheck separately. If a helper check returns true for it, the delay becomes 0 and the prompt is denied straight away. Before, a single autoDenyAfterMs delay applied to every window.
  • Recording: an auto-deny is now recorded as a safety-check auto-deny only when the window really is a safety check.
  • Denial card: in auto mode, the permission card shows an extra part when the permission result carries autoDenyWindow and denialLimitFallback is not set.

Why

Some permission prompts may now be denied at once rather than after a wait. The extra part on the card gives you feedback about the auto-deny window and auto-mode denial limits, which helps explain why an action was refused.
