feat: add disable_autoupdater variable to control auto-updates

[DevelopmentCats]

Description

Claude-Code auto-updates itself unless the DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER env is set. This PR adds a disable_autoupdater variable which allows the user to disable claude-code's auto updating feature. This should resolve the issue where claude-code updates itself when a user defines a specific claude-code version to be installed which was confusing for the end user.

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds a new enable_auto_update variable to control whether Claude Code automatically updates itself. By default, auto-updates are now disabled, addressing the confusing behavior where Claude Code would update itself even when users specified a specific version to install.

• Added enable_auto_update boolean variable (default: false) to control auto-update behavior
• Implemented conditional DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER environment variable based on the new setting
• Updated all README examples to reference version 4.2.0

• The new enable_auto_update variable is not documented in the README. Consider adding an example that demonstrates how to use this variable, especially since the PR description mentions that this resolves a confusing issue where claude-code updates itself even when a specific version is pinned. An example showing how to pin a version and disable auto-updates would be helpful:

module "claude-code" { source = "registry.coder.com/coder/claude-code/coder" version = "4.2.0" agent_id = coder_agent.example.id workdir = "/home/coder/project" claude_code_version = "1.0.82" enable_auto_update = false # Ensures Claude Code stays on version 1.0.82 }

 version = "4.2.0" agent_id = coder_agent.example.id workdir = "/home/coder/project" claude_api_key = "xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx" # OR claude_code_oauth_token = "xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx" claude_code_version = "1.0.82" # Pin to a specific version agentapi_version = "v0.10.0" ai_prompt = data.coder_parameter.ai_prompt.value model = "sonnet" permission_mode = "plan" mcp = <<-EOF { "mcpServers": { "my-custom-tool": { "command": "my-tool-server" "args": ["--port", "8080"] } } } EOF }

I think we should keep the default behavior and allow disabling as opt in for the ones who need it.
