Claude Code projects hands-on: coordinator updates fixable via prompt, no auto-approve mode yet

Developer kr0der tested Claude Code projects (multi-thread orchestration, currently in beta) and found it promising despite three issues:
The coordinator is good at dispatching tasks but rarely receives updates from threads, so it seldom reports progress or blockers. Key fix: explicitly instruct the coordinator to give more updates and flag blockers — works much better afterward.
Threads keep pausing for approval, with no way found to enable auto mode or bypass permissions.
Threads can't use computer use.

Overall positive after the coordinator fix; author is excited for the feature's evolution.
