A new gate, tengu_parsed_willow (on by default), marks certain queued-command turns as human-authored, overridable via CLAUDE_CODE_PARSED_WILLOW
What
Claude Code now marks certain queued-command turns with humanTurn: true, meaning they are treated as if a human typed them. This behavior is controlled by a new gate called tengu_parsed_willow, which defaults to true (on).
- The gate can be overridden with a new environment variable,
CLAUDE_CODE_PARSED_WILLOW. - If that environment variable is not set, Claude Code falls back to the
tengu_parsed_willowgate's default value of true.
Why
This lets Claude Code (or an admin) control whether queued commands are treated as human-authored turns, with the environment variable giving a way to override the default behavior directly rather than waiting on the gate's rollout.
