Tip: Re-Audit Your PreToolUse Hooks — v2.1.211 Made an 'ask' Decision Floor the Result Instead of Being Overridden

Claude Code Changelog·medium signal

v2.1.211 fixes auto mode overriding a PreToolUse hook's `ask` decision for unsandboxed Bash; a hook returning `ask` now floors the decision at a prompt. If you wrote hooks before this release and concluded they were too weak because auto mode blew past them, that was the bug — not your logic. Re-test hook gates on unsandboxed Bash after upgrading, because previously-ineffective `ask` rules will start prompting for real.
