The code treats it as on unless the server answers with exactly false. Nothing in this release shows what the switch turns on or off.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe switch has no visible effect on its own. It matters only once something is found that depends on it.\n\n- Flag `tengu_fresh_heron`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.289; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: on) 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: Elsewhere\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
