Claude Code locks file writes to the working directory
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Agentic Coding · Composed from the cited sources · methodology
The day's most consequential item is a new permission switch in Claude Code that refuses Write, Edit and NotebookEdit outside your working directories in every permission mode, the kind of default operators will want on before letting an agent loose on a monorepo.
v2.1.314 anthropics/claude-code
The new permissions.blockWritesOutsideWorkingDirectories setting makes Write, Edit and NotebookEdit refuse any path outside the working directories, in every permission mode rather than just the restrictive ones. The same release adds IdP-group routing on Claude apps gateway upstreams, so only developers in listed groups reach a given upstream, and guardrail_trace on Bedrock upstreams to log wh...
feat(conversations): store sidebar pin/archive state in server-side tags OpenHands/OpenHands

If several people share a deployment, expect pins to follow the account rather than the machine.

Support managed network requirements under `permissions.network` openai/codex
Codex now accepts shared network constraints under [permissions.network] in requirements.toml, applied across config loading, network approvals, Windows sandbox policy validation and configRequirements/read, with the source shown in /debug-config. [network_proxy] and [experimental_network] still work but cannot be mixed with the new table, so move one config at a time.
feat(desktop): continue local conversations with /cloud cline/cline
Typing /cloud [instruction] in the Desktop app publishes a GitHub checkpoint and starts a cloud task from one locally generated conversation summary, the optional instruction and any attached images, while your local conversation stays open and editable.
