Auto mode should be available on Pro/Max plans (not just Team/Enterprise)

Problem
Auto mode (--enable-auto-mode) is currently restricted to Team and Enterprise plans. It's not available on Pro or Max plans.
This creates a gap for heavy individual users who:
- Need auto mode to reduce hundreds of permission prompts per session
- Can't use a Team plan because there's no Team equivalent of Max 20x rate limits
- Use Claude Code heavily enough to require multiple Max 20x subscriptions just to cover usage
Use Case
As a power user running 2x Max 20x plans to keep up with daily Claude Code usage, I'd benefit enormously from auto mode but have no path to access it. The Team plan doesn't offer the rate limits I need, and the Max plan doesn't offer auto mode.
Suggestion
Either:
- Make auto mode available on Max plans (especially Max 20x), or
- Offer a Team plan tier with Max 20x-equivalent rate limits (and a much bigger plan! e.g Max 50X!)
Current Workarounds
- Manual allow rules: Configuring extensive
permissions.allowrules insettings.local.json— functional but tedious to maintain and doesn't cover edge cases the way auto mode's classifier would. --dangerously-skip-permissions: Eliminates all prompts but has introduced unwanted behaviour in the past (e.g. destructive actions, overly aggressive changes) that requires careful management and monitoring. The lack of any safety classifier means you trade permission fatigue for risk of unintended side effects.
