What
The new v5 storage backend for credentials and settings can now be pinned with the CLAUDE_CODE_HOVER_REST environment variable, which takes precedence over the tengu_hover_rest server flag. That flag's built-in fallback is false, so the v5 backend stays off unless the server enables it or you set the variable.
Details
The decision is now latched once per process instead of re-read at each call site; the code warns if a later pin disagrees with the first.
The variable was added to the list of CLAUDE_CODE_* names forwarded to spawned sessions alongside CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_SESSION_ID, so a pin carries into child sessions.
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.
