tengu_slate_ibis
A Claude Code feature flag, read out of the shipped bundle. It was in the build from v2.1.217 and was gone by v2.1.221.
What it is
Explore and plan agents are now always on unless you set the disable environment variable yourself.
Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.221.
Presence across releases
| Releases | Reading | Declared type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1.245 – 2.1.250 5 releases | never mined | — | — |
| 2.1.221 – 2.1.243 22 releases | not in the build | — | — |
| 2.1.217 – 2.1.220 4 releases | in the build | — | bool:true |
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.

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.
