A new background 'memory context' prefetch path exists but stays off unless enabled by feature gate or a new env var

What

  • A new memory-context prefetch/fetch path was added that fires performance timers (memory_context_fetch_ms, memory_context_boot_spillover_ms). It requires either CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT being remote_cowork/remote_cowork_trigger, or a new SYSTEM_REMINDER_MEMORY_CONTEXT environment variable, plus an account/session check, plus the tengu_misty_anchor feature gate.
  • SYSTEM_REMINDER_MEMORY_CONTEXT was also added to the lists of environment variables that get passed through/preserved for sessions, and setting it can force-enable the memory-context fetch even when tengu_misty_anchor would otherwise be off.

Why The feature is built but gated off by default (tengu_misty_anchor), so most users won't see any behavior change yet; the env var provides a way to force it on for testing.

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.
