What

Claude Code runs a check to decide whether plan mode or auto mode applies. That check now also looks at the mode that was active before a rewrite. Separately, a helper that used to read text line by line, skipping blank lines and comment lines starting with #, has been reworked. It now sits behind a server-side switch, and the code treats that switch as off when the server sends nothing. The message timestamps option in settings is also still controlled by a server-side switch.

Why

This could change how auto mode behaves in some cases.

Feature flag
tengu_sleepy_rabbit Not enough to say

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.

This account: no value returned · anonymous baseline: no value returned · compiled default in v2.1.285: 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_silk_hinge 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.
