A classifier is a background check that judges actions. How Claude Code decides whether this floor is on has changed:\n\n- If `CLAUDE_CHROME_CLASSIFIER_FLOOR` is set, it still wins.\n\n- In remote sessions, where `CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE` is set, the server setting is now read in a different, safer way.\n\n- In local sessions it is read as before, falling back to off when the server sends nothing.\n\nThe server setting has read on for this site's account and for an anonymous check.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes how the Chrome auto-mode floor is settled in cloud sessions.\n\n- Flag `tengu_cowork_chrome_automode_default`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.296; 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: Chrome & Browser\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
