Cloud on-branch checkout guard can now be forced on via a CCR_ON_BRANCH_DEFAULT_GUARD environment variable

What

A guard around --on-branch cloud checkouts can now be forced into "enforce" mode using the environment variable CCR_ON_BRANCH_DEFAULT_GUARD. If that environment variable isn't set, Claude Code falls back to checking a remote configuration value, tengu_on_branch_default_guard_observe, to decide the guard's behavior.

Why

This gives operators a direct, local way to force strict enforcement of the on-branch checkout guard for cloud sessions, without waiting on remote configuration.
