Harbor "kite", the feature that lets separate Claude Code sessions message each other, now defaults to on when the server sends no value, including on Windows. The gates tengu_harbor_kite, tengu_harbor_kite_win and tengu_harbor_kite_mode_emit all fall back to true in this build. The cloud variant stays off: tengu_harbor_kite_cloud falls back to false unless CLAUDE_CODE_HARBOR_KITE_CLOUD is set.
- Previously these fell back to off, so the feature was dark without an explicit server value.
- Mode emission (reporting which messaging mode a session is in) is covered by the same default flip.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
tengu_harbor_kite On for this account, and not off by defaultThe 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.

tengu_harbor_kite_cloud Off in both readingsThe flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

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.
