Unclear What makes the dialog appear in a session is not stated.
Auto mode lets Claude Code act without asking you, while a safety check reviews each action. When that check cannot run in a session, Claude Code can now show a dialog titled "Auto mode can't check actions in this session" and send the notification "Auto mode can't check actions in this session and needs your choice". It offers:
- stay in auto mode
- leave for accept edits mode and stop (accept edits lets file edits through without asking)
- interrupt
The second choice needs a taller window. There are matching messages for each way auto mode can stop, and a note that safety check requests made by Claude Code itself are billed and need your acknowledgement.
Other changes to the server review of auto mode:
- when the server check fails with a server error and no request ID, the message suggests asking whoever runs your proxy or gateway to let the check through, and names
CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0as a workaround, except when the provider is managed by the host - host-managed providers no longer need
CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOSToutright to qualify - setting
CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVERnow overrides the block thatCLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETASwould otherwise apply
People running auto mode through a gateway or proxy get an explicit choice and a hint on how to fix it, instead of actions being refused without explanation.
