Renaming resets whatever rollout the old name carried, so without a new server value every install is on file-based memory. The organization-memory variant needs a second flag, `tengu_haze_glass`, also off by default.\n\n**Details**\n\n- The decision is now latched per session: the first time it is resolved it is recorded, so the memory shape cannot change mid-session.\n- The committing form of the resolver is called at two memory entry points in this build.\n- If auto-memory is unavailable the resolver returns file-based memory immediately, without consulting the flag.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`tengu_linen_orbit`\n\n- Flag `tengu_stone_shell`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.238; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, compiled default: off)\n- Flag `tengu_linen_orbit`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.238; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: off)\n- Flag `tengu_haze_glass`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.238; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, compiled default: off)\n- Area: Memory\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
