Unclear It is not stated what state is changed around the dialog.

What

Auto mode is a permission mode in which Claude Code approves actions without asking you. The dialog Claude Code shows at startup for this now does an extra step behind a server-controlled switch, tengu_sable_orrery. Before the dialog appears, Claude Code turns some state on, and after the dialog closes it puts that state back as it was. The switch is on unless it is turned off remotely.

Before, the dialog appeared with no step before or after.

Why

The startup dialog for auto mode behaves differently when this switch is on.
