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.

Remote control bridge still gated off by default

Remote Bridge

The cross-session remote-control bridge stays off unless the server enables it; its state shows in debug output.

Every bridge availability check reads one gate whose fallback is false.

Feature flag
tengu_ccr_bridge 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.

What

Every availability check for the cross-session remote-control bridge reads the same tengu_ccr_bridge gate, whose built-in fallback is false, so the bridge stays off unless the server turns the gate on. Its resolved value now appears in the CLI's internal debug output next to the rest of the feature-flag state.

Details
  • The same gate feeds a remote_control_available telemetry field.
  • The debug line prints unset when no value has been resolved.
Evidence

tengu_ccr_bridge=${String(o.tengu_ccr_bridge ?? "unset")}

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