"Eliminate prompts with auto mode" requirements list, especially the provider availability guidance

Current Documentation

The docs currently say on the permission modes page:

Auto mode is available only when your account meets all of these requirements: Plan: All plans. Admin: on Team and Enterprise, an admin must enable it in Claude Code admin settings before users can turn it on. Model: Claude Opus 4.6 or later, or Sonnet 4.6. Older models, including Sonnet 4.5, Opus 4.5, Haiku, and claude-3 models, are not supported. Provider: Anthropic API only. Not available on Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry.

And the auto mode configuration page says:

Auto mode is available to all users on the Anthropic API. It is not available on Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry. If Claude Code reports auto mode as unavailable for your account, check the full requirements, which also cover the supported models and admin enablement on Team and Enterprise plans.

What's Wrong or Missing?

These pages are outdated for third-party providers.

Claude Code's v2.1.158 changelog says:

Auto mode is now available on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry for Opus 4.7 and Opus 4.8. Opt in by setting CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1

The v2.1.160 changelog then says:

Fixed the auto mode unavailability message on third-party providers (Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry) to point to the CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE opt-in instead of incorrectly blaming the model

So the current docs still tell users the feature is unavailable on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry even though the release notes say it is supported there behind an explicit opt-in. They also omit the required CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1 step.

This creates two concrete documentation problems:

A. Incorrect availability guidance

Users on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry are told auto mode is unsupported when it is actually available for supported models.

B. Missing enablement instructions

The docs do not tell third-party-provider users that they need to opt in with CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1.

Suggested Improvement

Update the auto mode docs to reflect the current provider behavior.

At minimum:

1. Replace the blanket "Anthropic API only" / "not available on Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry" wording.
2. Add the current provider-specific requirement, including that Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry support auto mode only for the supported models called out in the release notes.
3. Document the opt-in step explicitly, for example:

On Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, auto mode is available for supported models when you set CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1.

1. Keep the permission modes page and the auto mode config page aligned so they do not give contradictory guidance.

Impact

High - Prevents users from using a feature
