Internal ChangesSection of the release
What
Several new names appear in Claude Code's internal lists:
auto_mode_floor_server_check and auto_mode_no_server_check, two labels relating to auto mode (where Claude Code decides on its own whether to allow an action)
mcp_approval_ticket, a label relating to MCP (the system that connects Claude Code to outside tools)
pluginHookCountsByHash, a new field allowed in usage data, relating to how many hooks each plugin has
Why
These point to auto mode checking with a server in some cases and to an approval-ticket step for MCP tools. Nothing here says how either behaves yet.
