What
The code that decides whether a one-hour prompt cache lifetime is allowed now takes options, including an agent-level override and a flag to ignore cache overage, and computes overage once rather than per lookup.
Details
The allowlist of contexts permitted a one-hour cache comes from remote config, with a compiled fallback of repl_main_thread*, sdk, auto_mode and memdir_relevance.
Flag reading movedThe flag server now returns {"allowlist":["repl_main_thread*","sdk","auto_mode","rolling_compact","memdir_relevance","agent_classifier","prompt_suggestion","away_summary","extract_memories"]} for tengu_prompt_cache_1h_config, 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.
Flag reading movedThe flag server now returns nothing at all, having stopped carrying it for tengu_prompt_cache_1h_config, 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.
