Just fired up Opus 4.7, gave it a task with auto-mode and ran into this directly.

Bug Description
Error: claude-opus-4-7[1m] is temporarily unavailable, so auto mode cannot determine the safety of Bash right now. Wait briefly and then try this action again. If it keeps failing, continue with other tasks that don't require this action and come back to it later. Note: reading files, searching code, and other read-only operations do not require the classifier and can still be used

Yep, same, Opus 4.7 release broke --auto

Also affecting me on Claude Code 2.1.111 with Opus 4.7 (1M context), Windows 11 LTSC — so not macOS-only.

Error matches exactly:

This issue was fixed as of version 2.1.112.

I'm still seeing this on 2.1.114, so if this was fixed there is a regression.

Found the issue on my end: "DISABLE_TELEMETRY" = "1" in the envs section of my settings.json caused GrowthBook not to be updated for a few weeks/months. This lead to the Anthropic selected classifier model not being pushed to my instances of Claude Code.

Removing that fixed it, but that's obviously not a perfect long term solution.
