Every call site branches on whether the handle exists and otherwise takes the existing filesystem path. The only factory that would create one returns nothing regardless of its `tengu_hover_rest` gate, which itself falls back to off, so behaviour is unchanged everywhere.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Call sites choose between a \"v5\" arm and the existing \"raw\" arm.\n- There is a diagnostic for the case where two callers disagree about which backend a shared plugin load uses: \"joining a plugin load that an earlier caller started without the storage backend (tengu_hover_rest); this caller's backend is not used for it\".\n- This release ships the plumbing only.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`dt(nui, { tryCreateV5Backend: () => dSf, pinStorageV5: () => RBe });`, `joining a plugin load that an earlier caller started without the storage backend (tengu_hover_rest); this caller's backend is not used for it`\n\n- Flag `tengu_hover_rest`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.227; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, compiled default: off) 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.\n- Area: Storage Backend\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
