What

Pacing of Harbor requests now has an explicit off switch instead of a per-turn latch. Set CLAUDE_CODE_HARBOR_KITE_PACING_OFF to turn pacing off, or it can be turned off remotely by the tengu_harbor_kite_pacing_off flag.

Details
  • The flag falls back to false, and the flag means "off", so pacing is on by default in this build unless the environment variable or remote config disables it.

Feature flag
tengu_harbor_kite_pacing_off 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.
