A new setting can turn off Claude Code's auto mode entirely.
A new settings key disableAutoMode is now recognized both nested under permissions.disableAutoMode and at the top level. Setting it to "disable" turns off Claude Code's Auto mode, logging the warning "auto mode disabled: disableAutoMode in settings" when applied.
It flows through the same managed-settings merge logic as disableBypassPermissionsMode, and the new top-level path lets admins disable Auto mode via a simpler managed-settings path than the nested permissions.disableAutoMode form.
