Mistral Vibe: --yolo Now Starts the auto-approve Agent So Shift+Tab Can Leave It

Mistral VibeView original changelog

--yolo / --auto-approve on a new session now starts the visible auto-approve agent instead of a hidden bypass on ask, accept-edits or smart-approve. Shift+Tab can leave it, and a resumed session keeps that agent.

Key Takeaways

  • --yolo / --auto-approve now starts the auto-approve agent.
  • The old hidden bypass over ask, accept-edits or smart-approve is gone.
  • Shift+Tab can now leave auto-approve mode.
  • A resumed session returns on the same agent.
  • The change makes the active permission mode visible.
  • It shipped in Mistral Vibe 3.1.1.

From hidden bypass to a real agent

Previously, --yolo / --auto-approve layered a hidden bypass over another agent. In 3.1.1, a new session starts the auto-approve agent itself.

What changes for users

Because it is a real agent, the approval mode is visible and Shift+Tab can switch out of it. The session resumes on that agent. This matters for authorization: the current mode now matches what the user sees.
