The compression check became a full decision path with named skip reasons, but both gates still default off.
In 2.1.235 this was a single expression checking one environment variable and one flag. It is now a function that returns a reason for every skip: not_bun_runtime, below_min_size for bodies under 4096 characters, non_string_body, and the transport reasons unix_socket, proxy, mtls, custom_ca. Both gates default to off, so absent a server value nothing is compressed.

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
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.
