Auto Mode now available on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry for Opus 4.7 / 4.8

What this changes for operators

• Auto Mode's permission-handling posture, previously tied to first-party Anthropic auth, now extends to the cloud provider APIs (AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, Foundry) for Opus 4.7 and 4.8, opt-in via CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1.
• The operator decision is governance-shaped: teams running Claude Code through a cloud-provider procurement path can now deploy the reduced-prompt autonomy posture they could not before, which changes what consent ceremony exists on those deployments.
• Because Auto Mode shifts permission decisioning away from per-action prompts, an operator enabling it on a Bedrock/Vertex deployment must confirm their managed-settings deny rules carry the governance weight the prompts used to.
