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.

Remote settings can be primed from local storage instead of probing disk

Settings Notable not in their notes

Managed settings could be read from cached storage instead of disk, but the backend is off.

A storage-backed managed-settings view with several safety bail-outs sits behind a default-off flag; setting the remote settings path env var skips it entirely.

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.

CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_SETTINGS_PATH
What

Behind the tengu_hover_rest flag, which falls back to off, managed settings can be read from a storage-backed view that refreshes on updates instead of re-reading a file from disk. It stands down and returns to the disk probe if the watch fails, the cached copy is oversized, the cache file is a symlink, or the account changes mid-read. Setting CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_SETTINGS_PATH skips the priming entirely.

Details
  • The read is size-capped, and each stand-down is logged.
  • Also in this change: permission helper entries armed from remote config are revoked if that arming is withdrawn while a command is running, and a status warning is shown for a remote entry that never ran.
Evidence

Remote settings: storage view stood down (

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