tengu_hazel_trellis
A Claude Code feature flag, read out of the shipped bundle. It has been in the build since v2.1.257, including the newest one read.
Default 3. Maximum subagent nesting depth, used when CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENT_SPAWN_DEPTH is unset; a value that is not an integer of at least 1 uses 3, and the result is cached after the first read. Launching an agent at or past this depth fails with Subagent nesting limit reached (depth N of M), and several agent-tool checks compare against it, some only asking whether it is above 1.
Not Anthropic's. Written by Claude Opus 5.5 from reading the v2.1.272 bundle, and it can be wrong.

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.

One row per unbroken stretch of one reading, newest first, from snapshots taken every twenty-five minutes or so. No longer carried is not off: it means the flag server stopped returning the gate at all, which is what a retired experiment looks like. The version column is what was installed when the reading was taken, not what caused it.
First cited
0No release's published evidence quotes this name. The ledger indexes the Evidence lines of every changelog on this site, so this says nobody here has ever quoted it; it says nothing about how old the name is.
Presence across releases
5Build by build
47One row per release since the first build this name was read out of. Absent means the build was read and the name was not in it, never mined means no bundle for that release was ever archived, and a declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.
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.
