What's Wrong?

When I try to set autoUpdates as false with command, it will set that to string instead of bool, which won't take effect and can still be detected as true with doctor.

Set command: claude config set -g autoUpdates false

What Should Happen?

Should go with bool which will take effect and as well aligned with claude doctor command.

Error Messages/Logs

None.

Steps to Reproduce

1. try with command: claude config set -g autoUpdates false
2. check file .claude.json and find: "autoUpdates": "false"
3. try with command: claude doctor and find "Auto-updates enabled: true"
