What
Claude Code can now work out why auto mode is unavailable and build a notice explaining it. The reasons it can give are:
your settings
a safety cutoff that switched it off
consent that was declined
it was never set
it was forced off
unknown
A remote setting that accompanies this falls back to off when the server sends nothing. In a reading not taken under this release, the server returned on for this site's account and for the anonymous baseline.
Why
If auto mode is unavailable, you would see why instead of having to guess.

Feature flag
tengu_violin_nutOff by default, switched on for this account
The shipped code defaults this off, and the flag server returned on for the one account this site reads on this version. That is the reading that makes the entry above worth a second look, and it still says nothing about your account.
This account: on · anonymous baseline: on · compiled default in v2.1.286: off
These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.
