Unclear It is not clear what this setting controls, or whether either fallback value is genuine.

What

Claude Code has settings that a server can switch remotely, each with a fallback value built in for when the server sends nothing. The fallback for the one named tengu_marble_heron changed from ".zshrc" to "commander.executeSubCommandAsync". What this setting controls is not known.

Why

Both values look like ordinary pieces of text taken from elsewhere in the program rather than real setting values. The change may not affect anything you see.
