A new hidden switch, settable via env var, can make certain responses silently drop or error instead.
A new function, Oar(), reads the env var CLAUDE_CODE_POLISHED_DEWDROP or falls back to a gate named tengu_polished_dewdrop (default empty string), mapping the value drop to drop_block and block to error (any other value falls through to undefined). It's consulted alongside an existing check (KPe()/LTn) to decide whether to short-circuit or flag an error path, guarded by !a.CLAUDE_CODE_SIMULATE_PROXY_USAGE && !rK() && qh().
