Deferred LSP startup in cloud sessions is gated on tengu_moonlit_panda, off in this build.

What

In a cloud session, Claude Code can now skip starting its language server manager at launch, recording the context instead and starting it later if needed. This is decided by the gate tengu_moonlit_panda, which is off in this build, so absent a server-side value language servers start exactly as before.

Details
  • The deferral check applies only when the session looks remote: CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE set to true, or a remote session id, or a remote environment type.
  • The resolved gate value and its source are written to the log line [LSP MANAGER] Remote session: tengu_moonlit_panda=.
  • The re-initialisation path was widened so a manager can still be created from the deferred state.
Evidence

[LSP MANAGER] Remote session: tengu_moonlit_panda=, tengu_moonlit_panda

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

Flag reading moved The flag server now returns on for tengu_moonlit_panda, 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.
