Summary

Adds a new glossary entry for engine.permission-mode as part of the weekly full-scan documentation maintenance cycle (2026-05-25).

What changed

docs/src/content/docs/reference/glossary.md

  • New entry: engine.permission-mode — documents the four accepted string values:
    • acceptEdits — Claude honors --allowed-tools; workflow's declared tools: and mcp-servers: allowed: list is the effective tool boundary
    • bypassPermissions — Claude ignores --allowed-tools; the MCP gateway's allowed: filter is the sole boundary
    • auto — Claude selects the least-privileged mode that fits the workflow's tool configuration; default when tools.edit: false
    • plan — Claude presents changes for approval before applying them
  • Documents the deprecated implicit derivation behaviour: bypassPermissions was previously derived implicitly when a workflow granted unrestricted bash access.
  • Notes that explicit engine.permission-mode overrides implicit derivation and any legacy --permission-mode flag in engine.args.
  • Notes compiler validation against a fixed enum at compile time.
  • Includes a usage example (engine.id: claude, permission-mode: acceptEdits).
