Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

A per-session flag named tetherLiveGate has no code that uses it

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal5
Internals

A session switch called tetherLiveGate is declared but nothing anywhere reads or writes it.

The name tetherLiveGate appears once, as a declaration in the per-session feature-switch cache, with no code touching it.

What

The per-session cache of resolved feature switches now declares a field called tetherLiveGate, replacing one that previously held a plan-mode resume guard. The name occurs exactly once in the whole build, as the declaration: nothing writes it and nothing reads it, so whatever "tether live" is, its plumbing shipped ahead of the feature.

Details
  • Two other fields added to the same object in this build, for workflow-authoring skill availability and kept deferred tools, do have readers.
Evidence

tetherLiveGate

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