The Claude Code v2.1.200 update modifies default permission modes to Manual and changes AskUserQuestion dialogs to no longer auto-continue by default.
- Changed the "default" permission mode to "Manual" across the CLI, --help, VS Code, and JetBrains.
- Fixed a crash at startup when disabledMcpServers or enabledMcpServers in .claude.json is set to a non-array value.
- Fixed background sessions silently stopping mid-turn after sleep/wake or when reopening a stalled session.
- Fixed background-agent daemon handover so a reinstalled older build can no longer take over the daemon.
- Improved screen-reader output by hiding decorative glyphs and reading transcript symbols as short labels.
These changes enhance stability for background agents and improve accessibility for users relying on screen readers.
