It is off unless switched on, and it counts as off if reading it fails. It sits alongside the new outcomes for restoring settings, including one for when the restore is switched off.\n\nThe flag server has returned this switch as on for this site's account and for an anonymous baseline, though no reading has been taken under this release yet.\n\n**Why**\n\nIt is a feature that is shipped but controlled from the server.\n\n- Flag `tengu_violin_lapping`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.293; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, 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: Settings Sync\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
