Enable auto permission mode in Claude agent integration#4983
Draft
Enable auto permission mode in Claude agent integration#4983
Conversation
Add a new 'auto' permission mode that uses a model classifier to approve/deny tool operations. The mode is controlled by a new setting `github.copilot.chat.claudeAgent.allowAutoPermissions` which defaults to true (visible by default), following the same pattern as the existing bypass permission mode setting.
