Bridge configuration can now explicitly drop the 'auto mode environment' setting, and tracks if you'd configured your own
When Claude Code applies configuration from a bridge server, it can now be told to explicitly strip out the auto_mode_environment setting from the incoming config via a new dropAutoModeEnvironment option. Separately, it now tracks and records whether you had already configured your own auto-mode environment before the bridge's config was applied.
This prevents a bridge server's configuration from silently overriding an auto-mode environment setting you'd already chosen yourself, and gives visibility into how often that situation happens.
What 'auto mode environment' configures in practice is still not explained by the evidence available.
