The feature controlled by CLAUDE_CODE_HARBOR_KITE now checks a managed setting first. Managed settings are settings an organization's administrator deploys to users' machines. When messagingBeyondOwnAgentsDisabled is set there, the feature is off, whatever the environment variable or the remote switches say.
Previously only CLAUDE_CODE_HARBOR_KITE and two remote switches decided. When neither the variable nor the managed setting applies, those switches still decide, and they fall back to on when the server sends no value.
Administrators get a way to shut off messaging between agents beyond a user's own, and users cannot turn it back on with the environment variable.
tengu_harbor_kite On for this account, and not off by defaultThe flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.
