What the research found

RuntimeWire reverse-engineered Claude Code's public JavaScript and found separate staff-only error paths for unapproved controls and a handler that starts employee bypass-mode sessions in Accept edits; RuntimeWire could not reproduce it and no live API response was observed, so it is a single-source finding.

Claims and how well the evidence supports them

Anthropic public Claude Code JavaScript has separate error paths for staff sessions with unapproved controls 98%
Employee sessions requesting bypass mode start in Accept edits mode 93%
RuntimeWire could not independently reproduce the finding 99%
