Muse threads only offered Supervised and Full access. A parent thread in Auto can't hand a delegate Full access, so Muse delegates (council reviewers, for example) ran in Supervised and asked before nearly every shell command. Muse saves allow rules per workspace, so each fresh worktree asked again.

Muse now supports Auto. It selects Muse's built-in :auto-review permission profile with the onRequest approval mode and keeps the sandbox on (no --disable-sandbox). Routine sandboxed work runs without prompts. Actions the sandbox restricts (protected writes, new network targets) go to Muse's AI reviewer, which escalates to you when it can't decide. Supervised keeps :ask-me + promptUnmatched, so the AI reviewer stays off unless you pick Auto.

Why onRequest. Muse 1.4.15 describes promptUnmatched as "ask for approval when no permission rule covers the action" and onRequest as "ask for approval only when the action requires it". promptUnmatched would send every unmatched command through the reviewer. An echo-provider session/start with :auto-review reports permissionState.axes = { filesystem: sandboxed, network: off, approval: onRequest, reviewer: autoReview }, so onRequest matches the profile's own approval axis.

Delegated child approvals stay as they are. In Full access, T3 auto-accepts child approvals because Muse doesn't pass allowAll down to workflow children. In Auto, an approval that reaches T3 is one the reviewer escalated or one the child's sandbox needs a person for. Auto-accepting it would turn Auto into Full access for children, so those requests still go to you.

supportedRuntimeModes now includes auto, so orchestrator_capabilities, delegation rank checks, and the composer all offer it. The user docs no longer say Muse lacks Auto.

Verification

• vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (10 packages), tests all pass.
• vp test run on the Muse sdk, adapter, and status tests: 69 passed. The new auto row in the adapter's start/resume profile test fails on main (expected ':ask-me' to equal ':auto-review').
• Against a local muse serve --provider echo (Muse Code 1.4.15, isolated data home): session/start accepts :auto-review with onRequest and reports the permission state above.
• Not run: a live model turn. I didn't check how often the reviewer escalates in practice.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Muse Auto now delegates approvals to automatic review while retaining the sandbox. Existing Auto-configured threads also change from supervised behavior on resume; that permission transition needs confirmation of product intent.

Walkthrough

Muse now supports Auto with dedicated approval and permission-profile mappings. Tests cover the Auto mode, and the documentation describes its behavior and the unsupported Auto-accept edits mode.

Changes: Muse Auto mode

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Runtime support and validation packages/provider-muse/src/server/sdk.ts, packages/provider-muse/src/server/status.ts, packages/provider-muse/src/server/adapter.test.ts, packages/provider-muse/src/server/sdk.test.ts	Muse lists Auto as supported and maps it to :auto-review and onRequest. The adapter test covers session start and resume. The SDK host test removes assertions for the approval-mode mapping.
Permission mode documentation docs/user/providers-muse.md, docs/user/permission-modes.md	The documentation describes Muse Auto and clarifies that Muse does not support Auto-accept edits.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: Muse threads gain an Auto runtime mode, which lets delegates run without prompting on every command. It uses the conventional commit prefix feat(provider-muse). The changeset adds auto to the Muse runtime modes, maps it to :auto-review with onRequest approval, and updates the docs and tests to match.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem (Muse delegates ran in Supervised and asked before nearly every shell command), the change (Auto mode using :auto-review with onRequest and sandbox kept on), and the verification steps with observed results, including the failing-on-main row and the unrun live model turn. It explains why onRequest was chosen and how delegated child approvals behave. It does not follow the template's Scope section: it does not link an issue showing the bug, and it does not explain why the change is a bug fix rather than a feature. The template says the repository accepts bug fixes, not features, so this is a gap. The description also does not include the template's closing model and harness line, although it does end with a 'Created with' attribution.

Resolution

Add a Scope section that links the issue showing the bug, or explains why no issue is needed. Justify why this is a bug fix rather than a feature, since the template accepts only bug fixes. If a maintainer requested this PR, link the request. Also reformat the description to the template headings (Problem, Change, Scope, Verification). Keep the model and harness note at the end as the template requests.

Thanks for this. #23232 makes the same change and is the one being kept.

#23232 addresses the same missing Muse Auto support while keeping unmatched commands subject to Muse's automatic reviewer. Its signed-in evidence covers delegated commands and escalation back to a person, making it the better-supported, smaller fix to carry forward.

Your onRequest mapping changes which actions reach that reviewer. The explanation and profile probe are useful evidence for considering that behavior separately, with a live comparison showing which commands bypass review and which still escalate.

Closing as a duplicate.
