The code for three gated features moved or was reformatted, and none of their fallbacks changed. A gate is a server-controlled switch, and its fallback is the value used when the server gives no answer.
In an earlier release, the flag server returned on for tengu_cowork_chrome_automode_default, both for this site's account and for the anonymous baseline, even though its fallback is off. No reading has been taken under this release yet.
Why
Nothing about these three features behaves differently. The Chrome classifier gate is worth watching because the server has been answering on where the built-in fallback says off.

tengu_cowork_chrome_automode_defaultOff by default, switched on for this account
The shipped code defaults this off, and the flag server returned on for the one account this site reads on this version. That is the reading that makes the entry above worth a second look, and it still says nothing about your account.
