Claude Auto mode and updates

Current Documentation

This is basically a poorly described overlay that pops up that is confusing to the user.

How you use Claude here: (Mixed, Work, Hobby, Open Source). What the frick does this even mean.

And, how about some Infos for Shell History and Other Repos... can't just leave them with no info.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Suggested Improvement

Infos in the overlay, documentation on web site, and not do poor things that confuse users.

Impact

High - Prevents users from using a feature

Additional Context

I am staring at this overlay in Claude Code until I understand the ramifications of it. I won't use Claude until I do.
