Claude Code 2.1.280 stops auto-approving writes that go through a symlink to a path outside the project
The v2.1.280 release (2026-09-22) fixes writes through a symlinked path being judged by their in-tree spelling. Before the fix, acceptEdits, allow rules and auto mode could approve a write that landed outside the tree. Auto mode also no longer retries forever: it denies once when a safety check declines to review, backs off when the check returns no answer, and stops the turn after ten denials in a row. If you run Claude Code unattended in auto mode, upgrade; both bugs could loop or escape the project directory without anyone noticing.
