[BUG] Auto mode (shift+tab cycle) has blank label and only partially bypasses permissions -- Bash approved, Edit still prompts
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened May 13, 2026 by iam6ft7in Closed Jun 13, 2026
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
- Step 4: Bash runs immediately, no prompt
- Step 5: Edit tool shows a normal permission prompt (diff view + Yes/No)
- The mode label in the status bar is blank (should show "auto" or similar)
What Should Happen?
In auto mode, both Bash and Edit tool calls should be auto-approved with no permission prompt.
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a Claude Code session
- Press shift+tab three times to cycle through permission modes (default -> acceptEdits -> plan -> ?)
- The fourth state has a blank/empty label in the status bar
- Ask Claude to run a Bash command not on any allowlist (e.g. hostname)
- Ask Claude to make a file edit
Claude Model

Additional Information
The shift+tab cycle appears to loop after this state (pressing shift+tab again returns to default), suggesting this blank state occupies the auto mode slot in the cycle.
