[FEATURE] Auto mode unavailable on Max plan - available on Team

Problem Statement

Auto mode is unavailable on the Max plan (both 5x and 20x tiers) despite
being available on Team and Enterprise.

Steps to reproduce:

• Max 20x subscriber
• Run: claude --enable-auto-mode
• UI shows "auto mode unavailable for this model"

Expected: Auto mode should be available on Max — it is the premium
individual plan at $200/month, above Team at $30/person/month.

Claude Code version: 2.1.140
OS: macOS

Proposed Solution

Extend auto mode availability to the Max plan (5x and 20x tiers).

Max is the premium individual subscription at $100-$200/month and
includes Claude Code as a core offering. Auto mode being available on
Team ($30/person/month) but not Max creates an inconsistency where
lower-priced plan subscribers have access to a feature that premium
individual subscribers do not.

The fix would simply be to enable auto mode for all Max plan subscribers,
consistent with the Max plan's positioning as having "priority access to
new features".
