Problem

Full access currently derives Claude permission mode only from T3's requested runtime policy. When Claude disables bypass, its fallback still needs approval even if T3's policy says never ask.

Change

This first layer lets the existing query-policy compiler accept effective bypass/Auto availability. Restricted Full access becomes Auto, or default when Auto is also disabled, installs approval handling, and omits dangerous bypass flags. Other requested modes keep their existing behavior. The next layer resolves settings and uses this policy throughout the adapter.

Stack base: #21806 is the dependent integration layer.

Rebuilt from #15964 by @shivamhwp. The original 1,858-line change is replaced by policy and integration layers; generic bounded-cache machinery and its tests were discarded.

Verification

Verification: one focused case in the existing adapter suite covers downgrade, forced approval, and unchanged explicit Auto. The complete integrated stack passes 291/291 adapter cases, scoped lint/format, and server-only typecheck. The initial behavior regressions failed before implementation. Independent adversarial reviews cover both layer diffs and the combined change; final round four returned no actionable findings from either reviewer. CI for this published head is tracked separately.

Scope and approval

Original scope discussion. Human approval of the Full access downgrade and fail-closed policy remains outstanding. This is unmerged review work; enterprise/MDM and native platforms have not been verified. Integrated proof belongs to the next layer.

Models/harness: tests gpt-6-astra / Codex; implementation gpt-6.1-sol / Codex; review gpt-6-sol / Codex and claude-opus-5-5 / Claude.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval β€” The PR adds a narrowly scoped, tested fallback for Claude permission modes while preserving existing behavior for current callers. Because it governs permission bypass and approval enforcement, the change warrants human review even though its current production call sites use the compatibility default.

πŸ“ Walkthrough

The Claude runtime policy now accepts bypass-availability settings. When bypass permissions are disabled, it selects auto or default as the fallback and installs the permission callback. Tests cover both fallback cases. The thread detail screen imports useCallback.

When Claude disables bypass, Full-access requests may still be silently approved instead of requiring user approval. Wire effective availability into the production query path before merging.

Explanation

The description includes the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. It explains the behavior, implementation, tests, limitations, and dependent work. However, the required maintainer approval is explicitly still outstanding, and no approval comment is linked.

Add a link to explicit maintainer approval of the Full access downgrade and fail-closed policy, including the approval comment. If the change qualifies as an obvious focused fix without prior approval, explain that exemption instead.

Pass bypass availability into the production policy call.

When openQuery calls this function, it omits availability, so bypassDisabled is always false. A full-access query therefore still selects bypassPermissions and does not install the new callback, even when Claude settings disable bypass mode. The added tests pass flags directly and do not cover this path. Read the effective availability settings before opening the query and pass them to this function. Claude documents a setting that disables bypass mode. (code.claude.com)

This is the policy-only base of a two-layer stack. Its availability argument intentionally defaults to the existing behavior; production settings resolution belongs to #21806. At that head, openQuery calls queryPolicyForTurn, which resolves and caches the effective availability and passes it to claudeRuntimeQueryPolicyForRuntimePolicy. The integrated 291-case suite and real CLI approval proof exercise that path. Moving the integration into this base would duplicate the dependent layer. Resolving this as addressed by the linked stack layer; neither PR is being merged before human policy review.

@juliusmarminge Thanks for clarifying the stack boundary. The default preserves existing behavior in this policy-only base. Production settings resolution belongs to #21806, so moving it here would duplicate the dependent layer.

I withdraw this finding against #21805. I have not independently verified the integrated suite or CLI approval proof.

5Learning: When reviewing stacked PRs in pingdotgg/t3code, respect explicit layer boundaries. A policy-only base can preserve existing behavior through a default argument while a dependent layer supplies production settings resolution. Do not require that integration to be duplicated in the base when the stack assigns it to the dependent layer.

Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.
