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.

Claude Code v2.1.236

Web fetch agent switch moved into per-host state

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Web Fetch Notable not in their notes

The web fetch agent decision moved per session; it still defaults off unless you set the variable.

Feature flag
tengu_clever_orbit Not enough to say

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.

CLAUDE_CODE_WEB_FETCH_AGENT
What

The remembered answer for whether the web fetch agent is used now lives on a state object rather than a module variable. The decision is unchanged: CLAUDE_CODE_WEB_FETCH_AGENT wins if set, otherwise the tengu_clever_orbit gate decides, defaulting to off.

Evidence

V.CLAUDE_CODE_WEB_FETCH_AGENT ?? nt("tengu_clever_orbit", !1)

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