Auto mode now shows a short first-run modal explaining that a classifier reviews gated actions and that this is not a sandbox. After the first dismiss on a machine, later toggles and launches stay quiet; the status bar remains the ongoing mode indicator.


Why: the previous toast was watery and repeated on every switch/startup, which trained people to ignore it. A one-time in-TUI modal is harder to miss than a toast without becoming a YOLO-style pre-launch gate. Auto is already on when the modal appears; Enter/Esc only continue.

  • Persist auto_notice_shown / auto_notice_version in the existing install-local approval.json (merge-write with YOLO ack fields)
  • Save the notice after dismiss (failed write fails open and may re-show later)
  • All successful Auto entry paths (mount already-in-Auto, inline enable, Shift+Tab toggle) go through one helper

Address review findings on the Auto first-enable modal:

- _load_approval_state: split the expected FileNotFoundError from
  unreadable/corrupt/non-object state, logging a warning on the latter
  so a re-prompt isn't silent evidence-free (the next save overwrites
  the file).
- _notify_auto_mode_enabled_once: wrap push_screen in try/except and set
  the pending guard only after it succeeds, so a failed cosmetic notice
  can never break an already-applied Auto enable or strand the guard.
- Correct AUTO_NOTICE_VERSION date (was 2026-03-26) and document the
  bump convention; note the version-asymmetry vs YOLO.
- Anchor the thread-lock rationale to thread_local=False rather than
  platform folklore; clarify can_focus and action_cancel comments.

Tests: lock-timeout fail-open, corrupt/missing-state logging, Esc and
action_cancel dismissal, notice re-entrancy, and push-failure survival.
Expand the Auto notice copy and docs link, keep Auto only on Enter, and
revert to Manual on Esc without recording the one-time notice.

[0.1.46](deepagents-code==0.1.45...deepagents-code==0.1.46)
(2026-07-24)

### Highlights

- Auto mode is now generally available.
[#4957](#4957)
- Added configurable Auto goal-criteria acceptance.
[#4940](#4940)
- Improved Auto behavior by authorizing actions from active goal/rubric
directives, avoiding redundant approval prompts, showing the enable
notice only on first global enable, deduplicating classifier-unavailable
transcript spam, logging underlying classifier failures, and reporting
classifier timeout budgets.
[#5017](#5017)
[#4993](#4993)
[#5012](#5012)
[#5013](#5013)
[#5011](#5011)
[#5025](#5025)
- Added Hooks v2 capability snapshots and session transcripts, and
hardened Hooks v2 command execution.
[#4916](#4916)
[#4918](#4918)
[#4917](#4917)
- Raised the agent recursion limit to 2000 and made it configurable.
[#4994](#4994)

### Improvements and fixes

- Let the rubric grader inspect working-directory files, show rubric
grader defaults, and improved `/rubric` help and empty-state messaging.
[#4835](#4835)
[#4966](#4966)
[#5015](#5015)
- Unified goal activation signaling.
[#4980](#4980)
- Made Version, Model, and CWD copyable in the Debug Console.
[#4975](#4975)
- Improved `config get` output when a key is missing.
[#4976](#4976)
- Aborted YOLO launch on `Ctrl+C`/`Ctrl+D` and made the YOLO warning
friendlier for new users.
[#4953](#4953)
[#4950](#4950)
- Updated LangSmith handling: secret redaction is disabled by default,
`/trace` now flags empty env overrides that shadow the LangSmith key,
and the default US endpoint is no longer treated as a custom target.
[#4970](#4970)
[#4996](#4996)
[#5022](#5022)
- Injected OpenAI `prompt_cache_key` for any OpenAI-provider endpoint.
[#4995](#4995)
- Improved tool and schema presentation: finished calls stay on the live
tool-group line, first-party tool schemas now include field
descriptions, and `web_search`/`fetch_url` tool descriptions were
trimmed. [#4927](#4927)
[#5019](#5019)
[#5016](#5016)
- Omitted `plugins/` and `conversation_history/` from the `/agent`
picker. [#4991](#4991)
- Made selector modal backdrop dimming consistent.
[#4990](#4990)
- Restored the `"Server log preserved at:"` notice on exit.
[#4999](#4999)
- Used the SDK pin as the effective editable version.
