That check is gone. The variable now survives only as a name in the environment-variable registry and is read nowhere in this build, so setting it does nothing. Auto mode can now be turned off by the `disableAutoMode` setting, by the remote `tengu_auto_mode_config` (built-in default enabled), by model support, or by the new fast-mode breaker.\n\n**Details**\n\n- The fast-mode breaker surfaces to you as \"auto mode unavailable while fast mode is on \u00b7 run \/fast off\".\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`auto mode unavailable while fast mode is on \\xB7 run \/fast off`\n\n- Flag `tengu_auto_mode_config`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.248; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: not a boolean we can read)\n- Area: Auto Mode\n- Names: `disableAutoMode`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5"}
