The remote setting that controls the promo claim link, including whether the link carries your organization, is no longer read there, and whatever it added to the extension's settings is gone.\n\nClaude Code still reads the same setting in other places, including the check for whether the claim link should include your organization.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis setting is sent per account by Anthropic's servers. Accounts that had it may see the VS Code extension behave differently from before.\n\n- Flag `tengu_swift_lynx`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.296; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: not a boolean we can read) 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: Elsewhere\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
