Why it matters

Anthropic is shifting Claude Code toward autonomous behavior by default, requiring developers to opt-out of automatic execution rather than opt-in. This changes the friction curve for agent-like workflows in the IDE and signals confidence in the tool's reliability — but also raises the baseline autonomy risk for users who don't customize settings.
