tengu_quartz_heron
A Claude Code feature flag, read out of the shipped bundle.
It was in the build from v2.1.152 and was gone by v2.1.198.
Default false. Picks the model for the built-in Explore agent: when false it uses haiku; when true it uses inherit (the parent's model), except on the first-party API when the parent model name contains none of haiku, sonnet or opus, where it uses opus.
Not Anthropic's. Written by Claude Opus 5.5 from reading the v2.1.197 bundle, and it can be wrong.

No changelog entry here has ever named it. That is a statement about what has been written, not about the name: it has been in the build since v2.1.152 without anybody writing a line about it.
Gate readings
0
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.
First cited
0
No 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.

One 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.
