Anthropic's server sets this kind of switch for each account. It is off unless the server turns it on. If the value comes from a local override instead of the server, Claude Code treats the switch as off. If reading the switch fails, Claude Code reports the error and treats it as off.\n\nThe flag server returned this switch off for this site's account and on for an anonymous baseline account. Those readings come from before this release.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe switch can only be turned on from the server side. Setting it yourself has no effect.\n\n- Flag `tengu_violin_overstand`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.288; 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: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
