[FEATURE] Option to COMPLETELY disable "accept edits" on

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

This feature was previously requested here and here but in both cases the issue was closed due to lack of activity. This is still a desired feature, however.

Prior description:

The "accept edits on" feature poses a significant risk in any AI-assisted code editor. In the case of Claude Code, that risk is amplified due to ongoing issues with code quality and frequent hallucinations. For this reason, it's essential to give users the option to completely and unconditionally disable "accept edits on". No automatic code changes should ever occur without explicit user approval. This control is critical to protect the integrity of users' codebases. While the quality and reliability of Claude Code continue to improve, automation must never override user intent. Until the assistant's output is consistently trustworthy, this safeguard is not optional — it's necessary.
