It picks 5 characters from a fixed alphabet. If the result contains any piece of text from a banned list, it tries again, up to 10 times. The previous generator is still used when the server switch for this feature is off. If the server sends no value at all, the code falls back to the new generator.\n\n**Why**\n\nGenerated names should no longer accidentally spell out unwanted words.\n\n- Flag `tengu_quiet_elephant`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.290; 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: Internals\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
