It only applies on top of first-party authentication and the `allow_remote_sessions` entitlement; without the variable the feature falls back to a server-side flag that is off by default. Setting it in `.claude\/settings.json` or `settings.local.json` is ignored with a warning, since it is registered as blocked at project scope.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Boolean env var, read after the base harbor-kite gate passes.\n- Server fallback is `tengu_harbor_kite_cloud`, default off.\n\n**Usage**\n\n`CLAUDE_CODE_HARBOR_KITE_CLOUD=1 claude` **Evidence** `CLAUDE_CODE_HARBOR_KITE_CLOUD`\n\n- Flag `tengu_harbor_kite_cloud`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.232; 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: Cross-Session Messaging\n- Names: `CLAUDE_CODE_HARBOR_KITE_CLOUD`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 5\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
