It counts as on only if the server says exactly on, and it is off unless switched on remotely or if the check fails. Earlier readings found the flag server returning it on for this site's account and for an anonymous baseline.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis looks like a feature shipped switched off, ready to be turned on from the server later.\n\n- Flag `tengu_violin_fhole`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.287; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, compiled default: 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.\n- Area: Internals\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
