DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.233

Relay messages from hearth_human count as coming from a person

Under the hood

Sessions

Messages arriving over a new relay origin now count as coming from a person rather than another Claude.

Feature flag
tengu_cuddly_willow Off by default, switched on for this account

The shipped code defaults this off, and the flag server returned on for the one account this site reads on this version. That is the reading that makes the entry above worth a second look, and it still says nothing about your account.

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.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.233. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

What

Messages arriving through the new hearth_human relay origin are now treated as sent by a human, joining slack_human, teams_human and owner_relay. That decides idle-activity notes, whether a message is recorded as from a human or a peer, and the verified-human turn marking in remote-worker and bridge sessions. The extra origin only counts when the tengu_cuddly_willow flag is on; its built-in fallback is on, so absent a server override this path is live.

Details
  • The flag is threaded through the classification helpers as an extra argument, so each caller decides whether to accept the new origin.
  • The previous build defined hearth_human but no check consulted it.
Evidence

hearth_human, tengu_cuddly_willow

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