What

The list of named steps a remote session goes through gains five entries: ccs_repo_agents, ccs_repo_skills, ccs_register_repo_root, ccs_repo_switches and ccs_host_flag_prefetch.

Why

The names suggest remote sessions may load agents and skills defined in a repository.

Feature flag
tengu_mcp_step_up_auth_dialog 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.
