Problem

Full access currently derives Claude permission mode only from T3's requested runtime policy. When Claude disables bypass, its fallback still needs approval even if T3's policy says never ask.

Change

This first layer lets the existing query-policy compiler accept effective bypass/Auto availability. Restricted Full access becomes Auto, or default when Auto is also disabled, installs approval handling, and omits dangerous bypass flags. Other requested modes keep their existing behavior. The next layer resolves settings and uses this policy throughout the adapter.

Stack base: #21806 is the dependent integration layer.

Rebuilt from #15964 by @shivamhwp. The original 1,858-line change is replaced by policy and integration layers; generic bounded-cache machinery and its tests were discarded.

Verification

Verification: one focused case in the existing adapter suite covers downgrade, forced approval, and unchanged explicit Auto. The complete integrated stack passes 291/291 adapter cases, scoped lint/format, and server-only typecheck. The initial behavior regressions failed before implementation. Independent adversarial reviews cover both layer diffs and the combined change; final round four returned no actionable findings from either reviewer. CI for this published head is tracked separately.

Scope and approval

Original scope discussion. Human approval of the Full access downgrade and fail-closed policy remains outstanding. This is unmerged review work; enterprise/MDM and native platforms have not been verified. Integrated proof belongs to the next layer.

Models/harness: tests gpt-6-astra / Codex; implementation gpt-6.1-sol / Codex; review gpt-6-sol / Codex and claude-opus-5-5 / Claude.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The PR adds a narrowly scoped, tested fallback for Claude permission modes while preserving existing behavior for current callers. Because it governs permission bypass and approval enforcement, the change warrants human review even though its current production call sites use the compatibility default.

📝 Walkthrough

The Claude runtime policy now accepts bypass-availability settings. When bypass permissions are disabled, it selects auto or default as the fallback and installs the permission callback. Tests cover both fallback cases. The thread detail screen imports useCallback.

Changes: Claude runtime policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Policy fallback and callback
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts
The policy function accepts availability flags and downgrades unavailable bypass requests to auto, or to default when auto mode is also disabled. It installs the permission callback for downgraded requests. Tests cover both fallback modes.
Thread detail import update
apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadDetailScreen.tsx
The file imports React's useCallback. No runtime behavior change is shown.

When Claude disables bypass, Full-access requests may still be silently approved instead of requiring user approval. Wire effective availability into the production query path before merging.

Explanation

The description includes the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. It explains the behavior, implementation, tests, limitations, and dependent work. However, the required maintainer approval is explicitly still outstanding, and no approval comment is linked.

Resolution

Add a link to explicit maintainer approval of the Full access downgrade and fail-closed policy, including the approval comment. If the change qualifies as an obvious focused fix without prior approval, explain that exemption instead.

availability settings before opening the query and pass them as `availability`
to the production policy function. Preserve the existing default for callers
that do not provide availability, while ensuring settings that disable bypass
mode prevent selecting `bypassPermissions` and install the callback.
