What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
If the cached auto mode configuration said disabled and that value came from disk rather than a live override or server payload, it is now read back as enabled, and startup re-checks the killswitch against the remote config service before deciding. A stale local file can no longer keep auto mode switched off indefinitely.
Details
Two new startup awaits: initialising the remote config before mode selection, and the killswitch recheck itself, timed as growthbook_killswitch_recheck_ms.
Only values sourced from an explicit override or a server payload are still honoured as disabling.
Evidence
growthbook_killswitch_recheck_ms
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
