What

System reminders are notes Claude Code adds to the conversation for the model. Whether they get folded used to be decided by reading tengu_chair_sermon each time. Now:

  • The decision is stored on the session and recorded in prompt_snapshot as a new optional reminderFold field.
  • Subagents, the helper agents Claude starts for part of a task, receive it through inheritedReminderFold.
  • The decision is fixed this way only when tengu_foamy_spring is on.
  • A value that came from the built-in fallback, rather than from the server, is not fixed.
Why

Reminders are handled the same way for a whole session and for every subagent in it, rather than changing partway through if the server's answer changes.
