## Title

    [claude-code] [Bug] Anthropic API Error: Auto mode classifier unavailable blocks Bash/Edit calls

## Body

    ## Observed symptom
    [Bug] Anthropic API Error: Auto mode classifier unavailable blocks Bash/Edit calls
    
    **Bug Description** Bug — Auto mode classifier unavailable (server-side) blocks all Bash and Edit calls; read-only tools still work · area: permissions / auto mode ▎ ▎ What happened: Every Bash and Edit call began failing with The server-side auto mode classifier is temporarily unavailable (error)…. Read-only tools continued to work. Four consecutive retries of the same Edit over several minutes all failed identically. Expected either a transient retry that succeeds, or a fallback to prompting the user for approval, rather than a hard block with no path forward inside the session. ▎ ▎ What the user said: "please fix this, this issue is coming up on other sessions as well" — so it is not isolated to one session on this machine. ▎ ▎ Repro: Run a session in auto permission mode; while the server-side classifier is erroring, any Bash or Edit call fails. Read is unaffected. No in-session work
