What

Many settings writes now name the storage they are writing to instead of assuming the local config file. This is what allows configuration to follow whichever storage backend a session uses.

Details
  • Converted call sites include onboarding completion, install method, OAuth role storage, clearing the primary API key, iTerm2 and tmux setup flags, overage consent, the remote dialog seen flag, Apple Terminal setup, the first-token date, expanded todo display and the fullscreen upsell counter.
  • Which storage the handle actually points at is decided by the tengu_hover_rest flag.
Evidence

await sn((d) => ({ ...d, installMethod: "global" }), t)

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

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.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.236. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

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.
