Summary

  • make CLI auto-approve actions by default (equivalent to previous --yes behavior)
  • add -a, --require-approval to opt into manual approval prompts
  • remove --yes / --dangerously-skip-permissions flag wiring and references in CLI docs/help
  • keep backward compatibility for existing saved settings by mapping legacy dangerouslySkipPermissions to the new requireApproval behavior
  • update eval runner and dev script to remove redundant --yes

Validation

  • pnpm --dir /Users/cte/Documents/Workspace/roo-code/apps/cli exec vitest run src/lib/storage/__tests__/settings.test.ts
  • pnpm --filter @roo-code/cli check-types
  • pnpm --filter @roo-code/evals check-types
  • pnpm --filter @roo-code/cli lint
  • pnpm --filter @roo-code/evals lint
  • pnpm --dir /Users/cte/Documents/Workspace/roo-code/apps/cli exec tsx src/index.ts --help

  • ?? operator on non-optional boolean makes settings-based requireApproval / legacy dangerouslySkipPermissions fallback dead code (comment)

flagOptions.requireApproval is typed as boolean (not optional) in FlagOptions and commander defaults it to false. The ?? operator only skips null/undefined, not false, so false ?? legacyRequireApprovalFromSettings always evaluates to false. This means any requireApproval or legacy dangerouslySkipPermissions value saved in the settings file will be silently ignored -- the settings fallback is dead code. The previous version of this line used ||, which correctly fell through on false. Switching back to || here restores the intended CLI-flag > settings > default priority.

Suggested change
const effectiveRequireApproval = flagOptions.requireApproval ?? legacyRequireApprovalFromSettings ?? false
const effectiveRequireApproval = flagOptions.requireApproval || legacyRequireApprovalFromSettings || false

Fix it with Roo Code or mention @roomote and request a fix.

Fixed the ?? to || so the settings-based requireApproval / legacy dangerouslySkipPermissions fallback is no longer dead code. All checks passed (tests, types, lint).

The ?? operator only skips null/undefined, not false. Since commander
defaults requireApproval to false (boolean, not optional), the settings
fallback was dead code. Switching to || restores the intended
CLI-flag > settings > default priority.

fix: prevent false unsaved changes prompt with OpenAI Compatible headers

Mark automatic header syncs in ApiOptions and OpenAICompatible as
non-user actions (isUserAction: false) and enhance SettingsView change
detection to skip automatic syncs with semantically equal values.

Root cause: two components (ApiOptions and OpenAICompatible) manage
openAiHeaders state and automatically sync it back on mount/remount.
These syncs were treated as user changes, triggering a false dirty state.

* fix: remove noisy console.warn logs from NativeToolCallParser (#11264)

Remove two console.warn messages that fire excessively when loading tasks
from history:
- 'Attempting to finalize unknown tool call' in finalizeStreamingToolCall()
- 'Received chunk for unknown tool call' in processStreamingChunk()

The defensive null-return behavior is preserved; only the log output is removed.

* refactor: remove footgun prompting (file-based system prompt override) (#11387)

* refactor: delete orphaned per-provider caching transform files (#11388)

* feat: add disabledTools setting to globally disable native tools (#11277)

* feat: add disabledTools setting to globally disable native tools

Add a disabledTools field to GlobalSettings that allows disabling specific
native tools by name. This enables cloud agents to be configured with
restricted tool access.

Schema:
- Add disabledTools: z.array(toolNamesSchema).optional() to globalSettingsSchema
- Add disabledTools to organizationDefaultSettingsSchema.pick()
- Add disabledTools to ExtensionState Pick type

Prompt generation (tool filtering):
- Add disabledTools to BuildToolsOptions interface
- Pass disabledTools through filterSettings to filterNativeToolsForMode()
- Remove disabled tools from allowedToolNames set in filterNativeToolsForMode()

Execution-time validation (safety net):
- Extract disabledTools from state in presentAssistantMessage
- Convert disabledTools to toolRequirements format for validateToolUse()

Wiring:
- Add disabledTools to ClineProvider getState() and getStateToPostToWebview()
- Pass disabledTools to all buildNativeToolsArrayWithRestrictions() call sites

EXT-778

* fix: check toolRequirements before ALWAYS_AVAILABLE_TOOLS

Moves the toolRequirements check before the ALWAYS_AVAILABLE_TOOLS
early-return in isToolAllowedForMode(). This ensures disabledTools
can block always-available tools (switch_mode, new_task, etc.) at
execution time, making the validation layer consistent with the
filtering layer.

* feat: add support for .agents/skills directory (#11181)

* feat: add support for .agents/skills directory

This change adds support for discovering skills from the .agents/skills
directory, following the Agent Skills convention for sharing skills
across different AI coding tools.

Priority order (later entries override earlier ones):
1. Global ~/.agents/skills (shared across AI coding tools, lowest priority)
2. Project .agents/skills
3. Global ~/.roo/skills (Roo-specific)
4. Project .roo/skills (highest priority)

Changes:
- Add getGlobalAgentsDirectory() and getProjectAgentsDirectoryForCwd()
  functions to roo-config
- Update SkillsManager.getSkillsDirectories() to include .agents/skills
- Update SkillsManager.setupFileWatchers() to watch .agents/skills
- Add tests for new functionality

* fix: clarify skill priority comment to match actual behavior

* fix: clarify skill priority comment to explain Map.set replacement mechanism

* fix: address review feedback — dedupe countAll, increase SubtaskRow max-h

- HistoryView: replace local countAll with imported countAllSubtasks from types.ts

* perf(refactor): consolidate getState calls in resolveWebviewView (#11320)

* perf(refactor): consolidate getState calls in resolveWebviewView

Replace three separate this.getState().then() calls with a single
await this.getState() and destructuring. This avoids running the
full getState() method (CloudService calls, ContextProxy reads, etc.)
three times during webview view resolution.

* fix: keep getState consolidation non-blocking to avoid delaying webview render

The ExtensionState type now requires maxReadFileLine property (added in commit 63e3f76).
Update the test to include this property with the default value of -1 (unlimited reading).
