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.\n\n**Details**\n\n- The live state is selected by `tengu_slate_lantern`, which falls back to off absent a server value; `CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE` selects durable; otherwise none.\n- Durable watching is described as wake-subscriptions held by the artifact service rather than polling by the session.\n- Remote sessions persist a durable-watch record (`artifact_durable_watches`) holding watch rows, stopped-monitor timestamps and orphaned trigger ids.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`artifact_durable_watches`\n\n- Flag `tengu_slate_lantern`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.239; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, compiled default: off)\n- Area: Artifacts\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
