This adds its own telemetry, org-policy handling (open\/pending\/denied\/closed states), and etag\/withdrawal handling.\n\n- The `\/memory_context` response format now accepts an optional `guidance` string (up to 4096 characters) alongside the existing `version`, `content`, and `versions` fields. It's parsed out of the response but not yet stored or used anywhere.\n\n**Why** These are groundwork changes: the laptop leg is currently dark (disabled) and the guidance field is parsed but discarded, so nothing changes for users yet, but the pieces are in place for memory context to eventually work on more session types and carry additional guidance.\n\n- Flag `tengu_misty_anchor`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.271; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Flag `tengu_bright_ripple`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.271; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Memory\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
