Claude Code’s Cheaper Auto Mode and the Proxy Trap
Episode 132
Published 16 hours ago
Description
Anthropic’s latest Claude Code update moves safety classification checks to the server, cutting token costs for auto mode unless a proxy strips the required headers and forces a fallback. The episode also covers how to diagnose eligibility with /status, disable server checks with an environment variable, and the new AGENTS.md fallback for repo instructions.
