Setting it to `\"disable\"` turns off Claude Code's Auto mode, logging the warning \"auto mode disabled: disableAutoMode in settings\" when applied.\n\nIt 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.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Names: `disableAutoMode`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
