Global config file watching can move onto the storage backend

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal2
Storage Backend

Your global config can be watched through the storage backend instead of the file, falling back if it fails.

Feature flag
tengu_hover_rest Off in both readings

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

This account: off · anonymous baseline: off · compiled default in v2.1.234: on

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.234. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

~/.claude.json
What

Claude Code watches ~/.claude.json so changes made by another running process are picked up. A new path subscribes to that config through the storage backend instead and stops watching the file once the subscription succeeds; if it fails, the existing file watcher stays in place.

Details
  • The config state now also records which backend supplies freshness and holds a one-shot claim for resubscribing.
  • Requires both the storage v5 pin (tengu_hover_rest, falling back to false) and a constructed backend, and this build cannot construct one, so the file watcher is what actually runs.
Evidence

Watching ~/.claude.json for other processes through the storage interface

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