A host or SDK integration can now set `classifyHandoff: false` in its config to skip that classifier entirely. It applies to both local subagents and cloud agents run with `isolation: 'remote'`. The guard only fires in mode `auto`, so nothing changes unless a host opts out.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Skips are logged as a `tengu_auto_mode_decision` event with decision `skipped_enveloped_handback`, plus the handoff marker and the tool-use count.\n- With no host opt-out, the classifier runs exactly as before.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`skipped_enveloped_handback`\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Names: `classifyHandoff`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5"}
