Windows Credential Manager support gains a forced-priming step, still off by default

What

On Windows, Claude Code has a code path that primes a credential store backed by Windows Credential Manager. This remains controlled by the remote flag tengu_windows_credman, with CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_WINDOWS_CREDMAN available to force it on for local testing.

Why

For this site's account, the flag has been read as off, and off for the anonymous baseline too, with no reading yet taken under this release, so Windows Credential Manager support is not enabled here by default.

Feature flag
tengu_windows_credman Off in both readings

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.
