Unclear The finding does not say what the relay is used for beyond eligibility tracking, and no reading has been taken of any related gate yet.
What
When running a forked or background agent query, Claude Code now computes a relayEligible flag (on), which is true only when the fork has no separate agent ID, has forked context messages, keeps the same tool set as its parent, and the tengu_wild_tome feature flag is enabled (it's off by default).
- This flag is passed into the query as
relayFork. - It's recorded as
relayEligiblein thetengu_fork_agent_querytelemetry event and in fork-completion telemetry.
Why
This lays groundwork for relaying forked/background agent queries under certain conditions, while the telemetry field lets this be tracked and rolled out safely via the tengu_wild_tome flag.
