Auto permissions
Orca’s Auto permissions let Claude and Codex approve routine actions
New sessions only. Existing chats keep their permissions, and Auto depends on the agent, model and host.
Orca's permission switch now offers Auto between Manual and Yolo. Claude and Codex approve routine actions themselves, in terminals and new chats. Existing chats keep their settings, and an older host can't use Auto.
