The flag controlling this behavior was reorganized:\n\n- A new grants module can auto-switch a child session's permission mode to `auto`, merge or undo an `auto_mode_environment` fact list, and mount a `meta` MCP server for a bridged session. It reads a flag called `tengu_bridge_child_auto_mode`, whose default changed from off to on this release.\n\n- A separate check, previously also reading `tengu_bridge_child_auto_mode` (used for background-hint timeout scheduling in the sync subagent path), now reads a different, unrelated-sounding flag, `tengu_shimmying_stardust`, which still defaults to off.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe two behaviors that used to share one flag now have separate flags with independent defaults: the bridge child auto-mode behavior now defaults to on, while the background-hint timing behavior that used to piggyback on the same flag now defaults to off under its own name. This means the two behaviors can now be turned on or off independently.\n\n- Flag `tengu_bridge_child_auto_mode`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.273; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: on) 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_bridge_child_auto_over_settings`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.273; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: on) 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: Remote Control\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
