What probably matters to you Section of the release
What
The three settings behind the total-tokens reminder (its mode, its budget, and whether it appears after your turn) are read first from a configuration blob the server sends, and only fall back to the feature-flag defaults "padded-countdown", the default budget and on. The CLAUDE_CODE_TOTAL_TOKENS_REMINDER environment variable and the totalTokensReminder settings key still override both.
Details
When a server-provided value is used, it is reported as tengu_lapis_anchor_from_client_data . A server value of the wrong type logs a warning and falls back to the flag default rather than failing. Evidence

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