tengu_auto_mode_decision
A Claude Code feature flag, read out of the shipped bundle. No mined inventory carries it: everything below comes from what this site has written about it.
What it is
Subagent results can be tagged to show which parts Claude Code wrote versus the model.
Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.242.
Presence across releases
The miner has never read a build containing this name. It is here because a changelog entry of ours names it, which is evidence that it existed and not evidence of which releases carried it. The inventory starts at v2.1.138 and everything older than that was never mined.
Gate readings
No release here has a gate table behind it for this flag. Most published releases have none at all: the readings exist only for versions the pipeline captured flag state on.

Documentation pages
None of Anthropic's documentation pages this site has a copy of carries this name.

Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the feature flag does. All feature flags.
