It's also moot.
replyIf the API replied "Are you sure (Y/N)?" the AI, in the mode it was in, guardrails completely pushed off the side of the road, it would have just said "Yes" anyway.
If you needed to make two API calls, one to stage the delete and the other to execute it (i.e. the "commit" phase), the AI would have looked up what it needed to do, and done that instead.
It's a privilege issue, not an execution issue.
Exactly, that just reinforces the fact that the author is just blaming others instead of getting any valuable insights about this "postmortem analysis".

replyI can’t say for sure, but I think Claude’s mode is nothing more than part of the system prompt. I don’t think it actually takes away web request or file write tools. I say this because I could swear I’ve seen Claude go ahead and make some changes even while we’re in plan mode. Web requests certainly, because it can fetch docs and so forth.
