What
The permission mode decides how freely Claude Code may act before it asks you. When you have not set permissions.defaultMode, Claude Code now checks whether your session would start in auto mode anyway, and records that.
In the config panel, the permission mode value now shows " (default)" after it when it is the default value.
Why
This can show you that auto mode is the mode you get by default, even though you never chose it.
