Guidance for watching a published artifact is rebuilt around three states: durable in remote sessions, live when the live-watch flag is on, and none otherwise. The none state tells Claude plainly that nothing will notify it when the artifact is republished and that it must not claim to be watching, which stops false "I'll keep an eye on it" answers.
- The live state is selected by
tengu_slate_lantern, which falls back to off absent a server value;CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTEselects durable; otherwise none. - Durable watching is described as wake-subscriptions held by the artifact service rather than polling by the session.
- Remote sessions persist a durable-watch record (
artifact_durable_watches) holding watch rows, stopped-monitor timestamps and orphaned trigger ids.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
tengu_slate_lantern Off by default, switched on for this accountThe shipped code defaults this off, and the flag server returned on for the one account this site reads on this version. That is the reading that makes the entry above worth a second look, and it still says nothing about your account.

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
A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
