# Claude Code 2.1.200: AskUserQuestion stops auto-continuing, "default" permission mode renamed to Manual

> Two default-behaviour changes: `AskUserQuestion` dialogs no longer auto-continue unless you opt into an idle timeout via `/config`, and the permission mode previously called "default" is now labelled "Manual" across the CLI, help output, VS Code and JetBrains. The old `default` name is still accepted, so existing settings keep working.

## What changed


- `AskUserQuestion` dialogs no longer auto-continue by default; opt into an idle timeout via `/config`
- "default" permission mode renamed to "Manual"; `--permission-mode manual` and `"defaultMode": "manual"` accepted alongside `default`
- Fixes: startup crash when `disabledMcpServers`/`enabledMcpServers` in `.claude.json` is not an array; background sessions stopping mid-turn after sleep/wake; Esc-cancelled turns re-running after a stall respawn; stale `daemon.lock` with an OS-reused PID blocking background agents; a reinstalled older build taking over the daemon (recency now judged by embedded build timestamp)
- Background-agent roster fixes: corruption disabling orphan cleanup, older binaries dropping fields written by newer ones, socket auth tokens stripped on daemon restart
- Fixes: `claude agents --plugin-dir` ignored when placed after `agents`; project-scoped plugins not loading from git worktrees; control bytes leaking to the terminal in the agent view
- Accessibility: `/mcp` server list focus tracking for screen readers and magnifiers; decorative glyphs hidden; transcript symbols read as short labels; nested tables read as `Header: value.`
- Rendering flicker under tmux 3.4+ fixed via synchronized terminal output
