2026-09-21-paperclip-v2026-831-0-paperclip-stopped-setting-the-wrapped-grok-cli-s-permission-mode-to-dontask

v2026.831.0: Paperclip stopped setting the wrapped Grok CLI’s permission mode to dontAsk. The Grok adapter passes no --permission-mode flag unless configured; before, the control plane injected dontAsk into the wrapped harness by default. --always-approve remains the documented unattended policy.

Channel: tagged-release. Half: defect (closed). Date: 2026-09-02.

Operator consequence: This answers part of the layering question for this pair: before 831.0, Paperclip overrode the wrapped Grok CLI’s own permission default toward permissive without the operator choosing it. Now the harness’s own default governs unless the operator sets a mode. Unattended Grok agents that relied on the implicit dontAsk may now stall on prompts; set --always-approve deliberately if that is what you want.
