tengu_harbor_willow
A Claude Code feature flag, read out of the shipped bundle. It has been in the build since v2.1.152, including the newest one read.
What it is
In VS Code sessions, unsafe default permission modes from settings are refused and fall back to normal.
Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.225.
Presence across releases
| Releases | Reading | Declared type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1.245 – 2.1.250 5 releases | never mined | — | — |
| 2.1.152 – 2.1.243 82 releases | in the build | — | bool:false |
A row reading never mined is a release with no archived bundle behind it. Nothing was read out of it, so nothing here says whether the name was in it. A declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.
Gate readings
| Release | Resolved | This account | Anonymous | Compiled default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| v2.1.248 | Off in both readings | off | off | on |
| v2.1.232 read on another version | Off in both readings | off | off | on |
| v2.1.225 read on another version | Off in both readings | off | off | on |
Two arms, because they disagree: this account is the one account this site reads and anonymous is a baseline with no identity attached. A reading says nothing about your account, and off cannot rule out a rollout both readings sit outside of. What these readings can and cannot show.
