The near-limit call site is behind the remote-config flag `tengu_vellum_anchor`, whose built-in fallback is off, and the commit additionally requires a policy capability.\n\n**Details**\n\n- The commit is authored with `user.name=Claude Code` and stored under a dedicated ref namespace, so it does not appear in your branches or history.\n- The resume file is appended to `.git\/info\/exclude`; checkpoint refs older than two weeks are pruned.\n- It refuses in many situations, recording skip reasons including `non_interactive`, `remote_workspace`, `bare_repo`, `sparse_checkout`, `content_filters`, `sequencer_in_progress`, `gitdir_uncontained` and `too_large`.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`refs\/claude\/checkpoint-`\n\n- Flag `tengu_vellum_anchor`: 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: Checkpointing\n- Names: `claude --resume`\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 5\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
