Verified in-session (LRN-146, re-verified on 2.1.273 on 2026-09-16 with a
`node -e` probe matching an `ask` rule): with `defaultMode: auto`, Bash rules
in `permissions.ask` were auto-approved and raised no prompt. The auto-mode
docs claim the opposite for "content-scoped" rules such as `Bash(git push *)`;
the observed behavior wins until a probe shows a prompt. `deny` is the only

`permissions.ask` is not on this list on purpose. Under `defaultMode: auto` it
gates nothing.
`autoMode.allow` is the exception tier: inside the classifier an `allow` entry
overrides a matching `soft_deny`, built-in or yours, so word it as narrowly as
the condition allows. It is also the only tier that can open an interpreter:
under auto mode Claude Code suspends the static allow rules that grant
arbitrary code execution (`Bash(*)`, wildcarded interpreters such as
`Bash(node *)`), so those commands reach the classifier whatever
`permissions.allow` says. `awk` and `echo` pass through a static rule; `node`
cannot.
### Scope of intent
A `soft_deny` clears on the user's instruction, and this config scopes that to
