[BUG] Auto-updates disabled on macOS Tahoe 26.1 with native install

What went wrong?
Auto-updates are not working on macOS Tahoe 26.1 with native Claude Code installed. The /doctor diagnostics show:
Diagnostics
└ Currently running: native (2.0.62)
└ Path: /Users/prb/.local/bin/claude
└ Invoked: /Users/prb/.local/share/claude/versions/2.0.62
└ Config install method: native
└ Auto-updates: false
└ Search: OK (bundled)
Key issue: Auto-updates: false is reported even with DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER explicitly set to 0 in ~/.claude/settings.json env configuration.
What should happen?
Auto-updates should be enabled (Auto-updates: true) when:
- Using native installation
DISABLE_AUTOUPDATERis not set, or explicitly set to0/false
Steps to reproduce
- Install Claude Code natively on macOS Tahoe 26.1
- Optionally set
DISABLE_AUTOUPDATERto0in~/.claude/settings.jsonenv - Run
/doctoror check diagnostics - Observe
Auto-updates: false
Environment
- Version: 2.0.62 (native)
- OS: macOS Tahoe 26.1 (Darwin 25.1.0)
- Terminal: Warp
Is this a regression?
Don't know - this may be specific to macOS Tahoe 26.1 or a general native install issue.
