Early sidecar fetch on resume is gated behind tengu_hover_rest, off by default.

What

When resuming a session, the file holding pre-compaction state can now be fetched while the session is being resolved rather than when it is needed, removing a wait during rehydration. Gated off by default behind tengu_hover_rest.

Details
  • Reads precompact.json from the storage backend, falling back to disk, with an 8 MB size cap; results are held in a cache of at most 8 sessions.
  • Rehydration uses the pre-read copy when present instead of reading again.
  • Forked sessions skip the read-ahead.

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.

What has happened since
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns off for tengu_hover_rest, read as this account. A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
