What

A decision made from a background context now waits, with a timeout, for this process to finish evaluating its own feature flags rather than deciding on whatever was loaded at the time. If the wait times out or errors it falls back to cached flag values and records which happened.

Details
  • Internal timing and diagnostics only; no setting exposed.

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