What

The part of Claude Code that starts up the command-line tool now includes two small new functions that always return false, sitting right beside the existing logic that detects things like whether a session is non-interactive or running in remote mode. Because their names overlap with other heavily-reused shorthand names elsewhere in the code, it wasn't possible to trace where or whether anything actually calls them yet.

Why

With no confirmed caller, it's not clear what behavior these functions are meant to gate or disable. They may be early scaffolding for a future check that isn't wired up yet.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtIt's unclear what these two functions do or control, since no caller could be traced in this part of the code.
