claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [DOCS] Auto mode docs still say "not available on Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry" after v2.1.158 adds provider support

Documentation Type

Incorrect/outdated documentation

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/permission-modes

Section/Topic

"Eliminate prompts with auto mode" section — the eligibility requirements bullet list, specifically the "Provider" bullet.

Also affected: the auto mode availability section on the Desktop page, and the env-vars reference page.

Current Documentation

At https://code.claude.com/docs/en/permission-modes, the auto mode eligibility requirements currently say:

• Provider: Anthropic API only. Not available on Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry.

At https://code.claude.com/docs/en/desktop, the auto mode availability section says:

Auto mode is a research preview available to all users on the Anthropic API. It is not available on third-party providers.

In https://code.claude.com/docs/en/env-vars, the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE does not appear.

What's Wrong or Missing?

A. Outdated provider restriction

Claude Code v2.1.158 added auto mode support on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry for Claude Opus 4.7 and Opus 4.8. Both permission-modes.md and desktop.md still state auto mode is Anthropic API only, which is no longer accurate.

B. Undocumented feature flag

Auto mode on third-party providers is opt-in via CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1. This environment variable is not listed in the env-vars reference page.

Suggested Improvement

For permission-modes.md

Update the "Provider" bullet to reflect the opt-in availability:

Before:

• Provider: Anthropic API only. Not available on Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry.

After:

• Provider: Anthropic API, or Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry for Claude Opus 4.7 and Opus 4.8. On Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, auto mode is opt-in: set CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1. See Environment variables for details.

For desktop.md

Update the availability sentence:

Before:

Auto mode is a research preview available to all users on the Anthropic API. It is not available on third-party providers.

After:

Auto mode is a research preview available to all users on the Anthropic API. On Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, it is available for Claude Opus 4.7 and Opus 4.8 with the opt-in flag CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1.

For env-vars.md

Add a new entry for CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE:
