Both are wired into the CCR (client-cloud relay) worker config.\n\n- The CCR client now passes `dropUnwatchedStreamEvents` at construction, and this can be toggled live via a GrowthBook-refresh subscription that calls `setDropUnwatchedStreamEvents`.\n\n- The CCR client also gains an `eventHoldEnabled` callback option, backed by a GrowthBook flag.\n\n**Why** These flags give more control over event traffic in remote\/CCR sessions, reducing unnecessary event delivery when nothing is subscribed and allowing event-holding behavior to be toggled remotely without a client update.\n\n- Flag `tengu_ccr_drop_unwatched_stream_events`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.268; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: off)\n- Area: Telemetry\n- Names: `dropUnwatchedStreamEvents`\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
