Language server startup can be deferred in cloud sessions

Elsewhere

Cloud sessions could delay starting language servers until needed, but the gate is off here.

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

Feature flag
tengu_moonlit_panda Gate removed from the code

This release deleted the gate from the code while it was still reading on for the account this site reads, so the code path no longer asks a flag before running.

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.
