Unclear Nothing has been read about the tengu_tidy_fern gate, and what the extra computed value actually does isn't stated.

What

A new internal flag, tengu_tidy_fern, controls whether an extra value is computed and passed along when Claude Code builds a user message for tool use. Previously this value was always left empty; now, when the flag is on, it is computed via a new function and included instead.

Why

The finding doesn't say what this extra value is used for, so it's unclear what practical difference this makes for a user.

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.
