Comment on: Claude Code: Starting August 14, auto mode will be the default permission mode

It will indeed change code. It will also happily do stuff like write into your user's SSH config and leave you with permanently broken SSH until you find and fix it.

This is a sensible choice.Their newer models are heavily trained out of the "whoopsie doopsie I deleted prod, and all backups too" behaviour from last year.I've been running it for months in auto mode, heavily, getting it to do sysadmin tasks via SSH across multiple servers for both myself and a client, and there's not even been a whiff of anything dumb/catastrophic -quite the opposite, in fact.I'd even say it's more careful than a lot of humans. It's extremely anal about standard "hygiene" stuff like not leaving plaintext secrets lying around, and creating post-deploy scripts to confirm that
