Instead it now carries a description of the effect: it attaches the content of the local file it names to this Gmail email or draft, for the call's recipients.\n\nThis still sits behind a setting that Anthropic controls remotely. In readings taken before this release, that setting was off for this site's account and for an anonymous check.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe wording, and possibly the behaviour, of the approval you see for Gmail attachments changes.\n\n- Flag `tengu_snug_pine`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.319; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, compiled default: not a boolean we can read) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Connectors\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
