Her wikipedia entry, particularly her duties as an administrative flagship & her armament, place her squarely in the light cruiser category. Although she could be construed to be an auxiliary ship given her stated purpose & tasks from mid-1940 to mid-1941, she was a combat ship in practice from late 1941 onwards.

The references are plentiful & the Tabular Record of Movement concurs such that it would be preferable to focus on her main duties & merely note the intended task.
