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.

Terminal tab status stays off without a server value

Not switched on
Useful2 Signal3
Terminal UI not in their notes

Session status in your terminal tab needs a server gate as well as the setting.

tengu_terminal_sidebar falls back to false, so showStatusInTerminalTab alone does nothing.

Feature flag
tengu_terminal_sidebar 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.

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

showStatusInTerminalTab
What

Showing session status in the terminal tab now needs both the tengu_terminal_sidebar gate and the showStatusInTerminalTab setting. The gate's built-in fallback is false, so with no server value the tab status stays off even if you turn the setting on.

Evidence

tengu_terminal_sidebar

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