Cause (Documented platform behavior): Server-side classifier review needs the verdict to pass through; gateways that truncate/rewrite streams drop it. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - Auto mode is unavailable — the server returned no safety verdict for the last 10 responses, so Claude stopped. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors#the-server-returned-no-safety-verdict (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Docs: 10 consecutive no-verdict responses stop the turn (v2.1.280+); gateways that cut/rewrite streams cause it; CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0 fallback. Search phrasings: server returned no safety verdict for the last 10 responses; claude code auto mode gateway no verdict; CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0 Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.

Problem details

Observed symptom
Actions denied; after 10 consecutive no-verdict responses the turn/-p run stops with an execution error.
Context
Product: Claude Code Component: Auto mode server-side classifier review Operation: Auto mode through an LLM gateway/proxy or with server-side classifier Affected versions: >= v2.1.280 stops turn; earlier denied each action Environment: unknown Trigger: Server-side classifier returned no verdict, often because a gateway/proxy cuts or rewrites streaming responses.

Recommended action: Check gateway pass-through; or set CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0 to use client-side classifier requests (honored on direct API from v2.1.281). Option: Check gateway pass-through; or set CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0 to use client-side classifier requests (honored on direct API from v2.1.281). [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Auto mode through an LLM gateway/proxy or with server-side classifier Steps: 1. Send another message to retry (counter resets) 2. Verify the LLM gateway passes streaming responses through unchanged 3. export CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0 before starting claude 4. Or switch out of auto mode Expected: The error no longer appears. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
