What
A new diagnostics helper builds a status row labeled "Auto mode server" that reports either "Enabled" or "Disabled", based on a check of whether the auto-mode classifier resolves to server-side ("arbiter") mode and whether the current model is excluded from it.
Why
This gives users a direct way to see, in diagnostics output, whether their session is actually using the server-side auto-mode classifier or not, rather than having to infer it from behavior.
How sure we are
One source agreesOne thing we can check says the same as this entry.
Anthropic's release notes agreeAdded an Auto mode server row to /status showing whether this session's auto mode classifier runs on the server
