ImprovementsSection of the release

A new banner for first-time users is gated behind the tengu_birch_lantern feature flag. When shown, it displays:

"New here? Type /powerup for a 5-minute tour — modes, undo, @-mentions, and how to teach Claude your rules."

A "step" arm shows a slightly different message focused on quick lessons. The /powerup command itself remains available to all users.

Evidence

Banner text (search for "New here? Type /powerup for a 5-minute tour") — y8n init at line ~608728; feature flag (search for "tengu_birch_lantern") — qEo() at line ~608722

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Feature flag
tengu_birch_lantern Not enough to say

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.

This account: no value returned · anonymous baseline: no value returned · compiled default in v2.1.181: not a boolean we can read

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.

What has happened since
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns "off" for tengu_birch_lantern, read as this account. A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
