permissions

GitHub announced that assisted permissions are now generally available in GitHub Copilot CLI, the GitHub Copilot app, and Visual Studio Code. The feature applies when Copilot requests permission to run a command or access a file system path.

Anthropic has released 'auto mode' for Claude Code, a permissions system that sits between conservative defaults and fully disabled safeguards. The feature uses a classifier to automatically approve safe actions like file writes and bash commands while blocking potentially destructive operations.
