 See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_auto_update_core-2

 If this is in wp-config.php:

 `define('WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', 'minor')`

 Site health reports

 Error The WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE constant is defined and enabled.

 According to the docs, 'minor' is a legit value for the constant.

 Note that changeset [47841] changed it from loose to a strict
 comparison...

Comment:

 Hi there, thanks for the ticket!

 At a glance, this seemed like a duplicate of #49923. Upon a closer look,
 however, that ticket is about the message displayed when
 `WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE` is set to `false`, and this one is about the value
 set to `'minor'`.

 Indeed it looks like before [47841], `'minor'` was recognized as a valid
 value, due to a loose comparison with `true`. With the strict comparison,
 it's no longer recognized.
