Plugin commands always run immediately

Plugin and command entries always run immediately now; the flag that gated it is gone.

What

The tengu_immediate_model_command flag that decided whether plugin and command entries ran without waiting is gone, and the roughly four descriptors that consulted it now hard-code immediate execution. What was dark-launched behind the flag is now the behaviour for everyone.

immediate: !0,

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

Feature flag
tengu_immediate_model_command On for this account, and not off by default

The flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.242. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

What has happened since
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns on for tengu_immediate_model_command, 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.
