Both switches are off unless they are switched on remotely.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe second switch and the PDF state point to an experiment with whether PDFs are also prepared early. With both switches off by default, nothing changes for most people.\n\n- Flag `tengu_amber_ferry`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.292; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, 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- Flag `tengu_slate_marten`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.292; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, 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: Attachments\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
