If Claude picks the browser already in use, giving only its device id, the call is now allowed without a permission prompt in the default and `acceptEdits` modes. Claude is told nothing changed and that `select_browser` is only for switching. The error shown when no browser is connected was also expanded.\n\nThis behaviour is controlled by a setting Claude Code receives from its server. In readings taken before this release, that setting was off for this site's account.\n\n**Why**\n\nIt removes a permission prompt that did nothing.\n\n- Flag `tengu_zippy_quilt`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.323; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, compiled default: off) 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- Flag `tengu_twinkly_moler`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.323; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, compiled default: off) 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: Chrome\n- Names: `select_browser`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
