The choice now rests on the per-model capability entry, the `CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE_SYSTEM_PROMPT` environment variable, and the existing `tengu_velvet_tide` escape hatch.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`tengu_velvet_cascade`\n\n- Flag `tengu_velvet_cascade`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.227; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: 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.\n- Flag `tengu_velvet_tide`: 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: System Prompt\n- Names: `CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE_SYSTEM_PROMPT`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
