Artifact watches can track unread comments and replies, but only with the comments flag on.
Unread comment counters ship behind CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_COMMENTS or a remote flag defaulting off.
tengu_teal_corbel On for this account, and not off by defaultThe flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.
This account: on · anonymous baseline: on · compiled default in v2.1.239: on
Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.239. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you
What's wrong with this entry?
Watch entries in the artifact tool now carry restored plus unread counters comments_uncounted, unread_plain_comments and summons_awaiting_reply, and the watch schema emits auto_reply only when artifact comments are on. Set CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_COMMENTS to enable; otherwise it follows the remote flag tengu_teal_corbel, which defaults to off.
CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_COMMENTS
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
