If the check fails, it returns a \"tokenless\" error; if it passes, the result is now marked with a `publicRead` flag, separate from the existing `relay` flag.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis adds a controllable checkpoint for public, non-member artifact reads, so this kind of access can be turned on or off independently of other read paths.\n\n- Flag `tengu_cobalt_plinth_sedge`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.274; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, 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: Artifacts\n- Names: `tengu_cobalt_plinth_sedge`\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
