Cause (Documented platform behavior): At startup the CLI loads feature flags; a PERMISSION_DENIED failure is treated as the mode being disabled for the account and the process exits.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Source is the published @augmentcode/auggie 0.36.0 npm bundle (single minified augment.mjs); Augment has no public source repo for the CLI, and behaviour may differ in other versions.
- Not reproduced in this session.
Other error fragments:
- mode access has been disabled for your account. If you believe this to be an error, please contact your administrator.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://registry.npmjs.org/@augmentcode/auggie/-/auggie-0.36.0.tgz#package/augment.mjs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Startup checks featureFlags.errorStatus===8 and prints 'CLI <mode> mode access has been disabled for your account...' before exiting.
Search phrasings: auggie mode access has been disabled for your account; auggie permission denied exiting; augment cli disabled by administrator
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
