This covers clients running with `DISABLE_GROWTHBOOK`, non-first-party setups and telemetry-off configurations. The fullscreen upsell is also suppressed when remote config is live but the client only ever saw its local fallback value, so it no longer nags people whose experiment value never arrived.\n\n**Details**\n\n- The new branch requires all three: remote config not in play, a recorded first-start version, and the fullscreen upsell having been shown fewer than 3 times.\n- The diagnostic value for this path is `fresh_install_on`, sitting alongside the existing `downsell_on` and `gb_on`.\n- The two experiment gates `tengu_pewter_brook` and `tengu_amber_creek` still fall back to off; the fresh-install branch runs ahead of them and bypasses both.\n- The gate lookup now also records where the value came from, which is what lets the upsell tell a real remote value from a local default.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`fresh_install_on`\n\n- Flag `tengu_pewter_brook`: 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- Flag `tengu_amber_creek`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.239; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: off)\n- Area: Rendering\n- Names: `DISABLE_GROWTHBOOK`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
