Summary
DeepSeek TUI merged a change that splits Auto mode from YOLO bypass, creating a fourth mode with deterministic risk review. The update clarifies agent autonomy semantics after community reports that mode boundaries were confusing or unreliable.
What changed
DeepSeek TUI added a separate Auto mode and distinguished it from YOLO behavior in the TUI.
Why it matters
Agent modes are safety contracts. When users cannot tell whether an agent is reviewing risk, asking permission, or bypassing checks, trust erodes quickly; clearer mode semantics make autonomy easier to adopt safely.
