Fix Claude Code Chats in Supervised Mode (rather than Full Access Mode)

[tamaro-skaljic]

What Changed

Fixes #1818

Why

When trying to use the Claude Code with Supervised rather than Full access mode, the chat rightaway fails with the error described in the issue.

The fix is to set the correct (default) permission mode when changing from Full access to Supervised.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes how permissionMode is set for Claude SDK sessions, affecting tool permission enforcement between supervised and full-access modes. Incorrect mapping could either block sessions or unintentionally relax permissions.

Overview
Fixes Claude Code sessions started in supervised (approval-required) mode by always passing an explicit permissionMode into the SDK query options.

ClaudeAdapter now maps RuntimeMode to SDK PermissionMode (including "approval-required" -> "default") and no longer conditionally omits permissionMode; tests were updated to expect "default" instead of undefined for supervised sessions.

Note

Fix Claude Code chats in supervised mode by passing permissionMode: "default" for approval-required sessions

Sessions started with runtimeMode: "approval-required" were not passing a permissionMode to the underlying query options, causing them to behave incorrectly. ClaudeAdapter.ts now maps "approval-required" to permissionMode: "default" and always includes permissionMode in query options for all runtime modes.

I've ran into the same issue and had a similar fix; I would like to mention that after switching from a full permission that fails to a supervised in the same chat fails because it says the conversation is not found

Approvability

Verdict: Approved

A clear bug fix that adds a missing mapping for the 'approval-required' runtime mode to the 'default' permission mode. The change is small, well-typed, and accompanied by a test update confirming the intended behavior.
