Claude Code v2.1.239 ·

Grove, voice, design and bridge calls switch to explicit credentials behind a startup switch

Several internal services now receive login credentials directly instead of grabbing whatever token is lying around.

What

A build-wide switch, pinned once at startup, decides whether these call sites pass an explicit credentials object or fall back to reading ambient OAuth tokens. Affected: Grove settings and notice, voice stream, design session auth, bridge session fetch and patch, peer listing, tips prewarm.

Details
  • Grove's cached fetchers now key on "account" and "config" instead of sharing one entry.
  • Startup also primes the credential-storage decision from a cached feature flag and loads remote settings earlier.
  • Related telemetry name: tengu_windows_credman.
Evidence

tengu_windows_credman

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Feature flag
tengu_windows_credman Off in both readings

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

What has happened since
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns off for tengu_windows_credman, read as this account. 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.
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns nothing at all, having stopped carrying it for tengu_windows_credman, read as this account. A reading is one sample.
