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.

tengu_prompt_cache_1h_config Not enough to say

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.

What has happened since
Flag reading moved The 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.
