Unclear What auto mode does differently for you once its classifier counts as switched off is not stated.

What

In auto mode, Claude Code uses a classifier, a check that decides whether an action is safe to run without asking you. Claude Code now counts that classifier as switched off when CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS is set and Claude Code talks straight to Anthropic's own API rather than going through another provider.

Before, whether the classifier's extra requests were retired depended only on a list sent from Anthropic's servers. There is now also a server-side setting with these values:

  • off
  • direct
  • all
  • direct_and_handoffs
  • all_and_handoffs

It can retire the classifier's extra requests, and it is off unless it is switched on remotely.

Why

Setting CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS now changes how auto mode checks actions, not only which headers are sent. If you set it on a direct connection, expect auto mode's safety check to count as switched off.
