Autonomous-operation guidance now checked with a second condition that takes message state as input

What

The system message that tells Claude "You are operating autonomously. The user is not watching in real time... asking will block the work" is now shown when either of two conditions is true. The second condition now receives the message/state argument, whereas before it was checked with no arguments at all.

Why

By giving the second check access to the current state, the decision of whether to show this autonomous-operation guidance can now depend on details of the ongoing session rather than being a fixed, context-free check.

Feature flag
tengu_amber_sextant On for this account, and not off by default

The flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.
