Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.39 10 Feb 2026

Plan Mode Auto-Approval with Intervention

What

Plan mode can auto-approve after a countdown, with the ability to intervene by pressing any key.

Usage

When plan mode shows an approval prompt:

A countdown appears: "Auto-approving in Xs... Press any key to intervene."
Press any key to stop auto-approval and manually review
Let the countdown complete to auto-approve

Details

Also applies to question auto-selection: "Auto-selecting in Xs..."
Provides a grace period for review while enabling unattended workflows

Evidence

New auto-approval UI (search for "Auto-approving in", "Auto-selecting in", "Press any key to intervene")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
