In-process teammate polling can time out after a period of inactivity, gated off for now
The loop that polls an in-process teammate (a subagent running in the same process) for updates can now give up and report an idle_timeout result if nothing happens for a set number of milliseconds, in two places within that polling logic. This behavior is controlled by a setting called tengu_zinc_harbor.
This would let Claude Code stop waiting on a teammate that has gone silent instead of polling indefinitely, but the setting controlling it is currently off for this site's account and for the general population, so it is not active yet.
tengu_zinc_harbor Off in both readingsThe flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.
This account: off · anonymous baseline: off · compiled default in v2.1.275: 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.
