Claude Code fetches them from a server. Before, it always fetched them on the spot. Now it can use a result fetched in advance, but only when that result matches the current checksum, generation, server address and account.\n\nThe fetch also passes a hedge option, controlled by the new environment variable `CLAUDE_CODE_MANAGED_CONFIG_PREFETCH`. An environment variable is a setting you give a program from your shell before starting it.\n\nThe usage report about this fetch now records whether the result was fetched in advance and whether the hedge was used. When the fetch fails, the server's error code is now kept with the failure.\n\n**Why**\n\nFor accounts whose organization manages policy, this means Claude Code may not need to wait for the policy-limits fetch, because a result fetched earlier can be used instead. A failure record now also says which error the server returned.\n\n- Flag `tengu_rustling_orbit`: 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- Area: Policy\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: org\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
