The gate controlling whether Claude gets reminded about kept/discarded output now defaults to reminding across all threads instead of staying off
What
Claude Code can remind the model about content it produced that was later "kept" or discarded from the conversation transcript. This reminder can apply to just the active thread, to all threads, or be off entirely, controlled by a gate (tengu_sleepy_snowflake) and logged under the [reminders] tag.
When no server or client-supplied value sets this scope explicitly, it now falls back to "all" instead of "off". The reminder still only fires when several other conditions are met: a first-party model, a master toggle enabled, and appropriate per-conversation state.
Why
This makes the reminder feature active by default in more cases rather than silently doing nothing when no explicit configuration is present, so the model is more likely to be reminded about kept or discarded output across all threads.
