Interactive sessions on third-party providers, or with telemetry disabled, now begin in auto mode when no permission mode is configured.
Why now: This entered the 2026-09-26 research corpus from GitHub and has enough source evidence to become a public Rabbit Hole story.
Interactive sessions on third-party providers, or with telemetry disabled, now begin in auto mode when no permission mode is configured. An explicit permissions.defaultMode still overrides this. It follows 2.1.282 moving telemetry-off users to the server-side auto-mode classifier. Teams that relied on the old default of prompting before tool calls should pin defaultMode in managed settings before they update.
Each link below shares sources, entities, or timing with this story.
Version 2.1.278 runs shell and network classifier checks on Anthropic's servers for enterprise and platform accounts, and stops billing for them.
Two of the six hid commands from the approval dialog itself, using tab padding, invisible Unicode, and split Bash strings.
The flag drops server-initiated notifications and SSE stream resumability, and it ships off by default.
Version 2.1.273 stops a repo-chosen memory directory from loading into the prompt when read access outside the working folder is blocked.
The same release adds a plugin eval command and fixes a permission rule that leaked across Claude Code's settings sources.
Fork skills chained to their own output now run before that output exists, unless they opt out.
