What's Wrong?

Claude Code v2.1.90 incorrectly blocks auto mode for Max subscribers.

• Auth status returns subscriptionType: "max" ✓
• User is logged in, authenticated, first-party ✓
• Despite valid Max subscription, CLI shows: Auto mode is unavailable for your

plan

The plan check in v2.1.90 is either reading the wrong field, comparing against
the wrong value, or has a regression that broke Max plan detection for auto
mode.

What Should Happen?

fix it.
