What

The extra flag that remote sessions started from the Claude desktop app used to need, tengu_violin_pegbox, has been removed. These sessions are the ones where CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT is remote_desktop. They now follow tengu_violin_wood alone, the same as every other starting point. That flag is off unless it is switched on remotely.

A separate flag, tengu_violin_maple, now appears as an alternative way to turn on the same check. It is also off unless it is switched on remotely. It controls trusted-device enrollment, meaning registering this device as trusted for sessions, and the steps that recover that registration. This means trusted-device enrollment can be switched on without the other feature.

Why

For desktop app users, one less condition stands between them and this feature. Enrollment can also now be rolled out on its own.

tengu_violin_wood Off in both readings

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

This account: off · anonymous baseline: off · compiled default in v2.1.284: off

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.

tengu_violin_pegbox On for this account, and not off by default

The flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.

tengu_violin_strad Off 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.
