Its message text and mode (\"wrap-up\" vs \"next-steps\" vs custom) are configurable, and it's off by default, controlled by gate `tengu_lantern_wick_braid`.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese changes let Claude Code adjust usage-limit messaging without shipping a new release, and give it a way to actively encourage wrapping up work before a usage-limit grace period ends, rather than just showing a static warning.\n\n- Flag `tengu_lantern_wick_mode`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.277; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: not a boolean we can read) 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.\n- Area: Rate Limits\n- Names: `tengu_lantern_wick_braid`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
