Unclear It is not clear what decides whether this safety check runs for a given user.
What
Claude Code has an automatic safety check that looks at an action before it runs and can stop it. That check now also covers saving or deleting a project document. It runs in the default and acceptEdits permission modes. A permission mode is the setting that decides how often Claude Code asks you before acting.
When the check flags one of these actions, the action does not run. Instead you get a question that is set to No unless you change it, with this message: "Claude Code's automatic safety check flagged this action, so the action hasn't run. Allow it only if you asked Claude to do this." A second check made on the server side is also part of this.
Why
You may now see a permission question when Claude saves or deletes a project document. Answer Yes only if you asked for that save or delete.
