A Claude Code settings key, read out of the shipped bundle. It was in the build from v2.1.284 and was gone by v2.1.309.
Coordinator messages forwarded to worker agents are labelled and escaped so they can't fake markup.
Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.239.

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
6Build by build
36One 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 settings key does. All settings keys.
