Auto mode becomes the default, which changes behavior in existing headless and CI automation with no version bump (Anthropic). Individual users flip with Shift+Tab or the desktop dropdown, and pinned defaults survive the migration untouched. Admins can force a different default with defaultMode in managed settings or disable the feature entirely with disableAutoMode. Auto mode also introduces customizable hard denies that no approval can override, data-access rules distinguishing secrets from confidential data, git-status checks before destructive commands, and API-side prompt-injection probes. Worth reading the whole list before it arrives rather than after.
