DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. 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.

Kairos loop prompt flag removed, check hardcoded off

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal3
Remote Config

The Kairos loop prompt is hardcoded off and its remote switch is gone from the build.

Feature flag
tengu_kairos_loop_prompt On for this account, and not off by default

The 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.

This account: on · anonymous baseline: on · compiled default in v2.1.248: not a boolean we can read

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.248. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

What

The Kairos loop prompt check no longer reads tengu_kairos_loop_prompt from remote config and always returns false. The flag name is absent from this build.

Evidence

return we("tengu_kairos_loop_prompt", !1);

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