chore: bump Claude Code version to 1.0.61

* feat: add agent mode for automation scenarios

- Add agent mode that always triggers without checking for mentions
- Implement Mode interface with support for mode-specific tool configuration
- Add getAllowedTools() and getDisallowedTools() methods to Mode interface
- Simplify tests by combining related test cases
- Update documentation and examples to include agent mode
- Fix TypeScript imports to prevent circular dependencies

Agent mode is designed for automation and workflow_dispatch scenarios
where Claude should always run without requiring trigger phrases.

🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Minor update to readme (from @main to @beta)

* Since workflow_dispatch isn't in the base action, update the examples accordingly

* minor formatting issue

* Update to say beta instead of main

* Fix missed tracking comment to be false

 > **Note**: This action is currently in beta. Features and APIs may change as we continue to improve the integration.
 
+## Execution Modes
+
+The action supports two execution modes, each optimized for different use cases:
+
+### Tag Mode (Default)
+
+The traditional implementation mode that responds to @claude mentions, issue assignments, or labels.
+
+- **Triggers**: `@claude` mentions, issue assignment, label application
+- **Features**: Creates tracking comments with progress checkboxes, full implementation capabilities
+- **Use case**: General-purpose code implementation and Q&A
+
+```yaml
+- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@beta
+  with:
+    anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
+    # mode: tag is the default
+```
+
+### Agent Mode
+
+For automation and scheduled tasks without trigger checking.
+
+- **Triggers**: Always runs (no trigger checking)
+- **Features**: Perfect for scheduled tasks, works with `override_prompt`
+- **Use case**: Maintenance tasks, automated reporting, scheduled checks
+
+```yaml
+- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@beta
+  with:
+    mode: agent
+    anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
+    override_prompt: |
+      Check for outdated dependencies and create an issue if any are found.
+```
+
+See [`examples/claude-modes.yml`](./examples/claude-modes.yml) for complete examples of each mode.
+
 ### Using Custom MCP Configuration
 
 The `mcp_config` input allows you to add custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to extend Claude's capabilities. These servers merge with the built-in GitHub MCP servers.
