As far as I've seen, nobody has come up with a quote from the rules to answer this for sure.
In the past, it has been relative to the robot (which is what I believe you mean when you say "flush with the robot frame and bumpers")

From the glossary:
"PLAYING CONFIGURATION: The physical configuration and orientation of the ROBOT while playing the game (i.e. after the MATCH has started, and the ROBOT has deployed mechanisms, moved away from the starting location, and/or interacted with the field, GAME PIECES, or other ROBOTS). This configuration is dynamic, and may change multiple times during the course of a single MATCH."
As soon as auton begins and your robot moves in any way, it is then in playing configuration for the remainder of the match, including when climbing.
