The narrowed delete permission ships with the memory feature, gated on tengu_stone_shell with a false fallback.

What

The consolidation subagent's ability to delete files was tightened to a specific shape of rm command.

Details
  • Only .md files, only inside the memory directory, only outside protected subdirectories such as .git or agents, and with no flags except -f
  • Both the tool-permission denial message and the subagent's own prompt were updated to state the narrower rule
  • Part of the memory feature, gated on tengu_stone_shell, fallback false
Evidence

of .md files inside the memory directory only (outside protected subdirectories like .git or agents

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

Feature flag
tengu_stone_shell Off in both readings

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

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_stone_shell, 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.
