Before, these turned on only when the `CLAUDE_CODE_TETHER_LIVE` environment variable was set or a server-controlled setting allowed it. An environment variable is a named setting passed to a program when it starts. Both modes now also turn on when a further condition is met.\n\nThe server setting falls back to off when the server sends nothing. It has read on for this site's account and for an anonymous check since early October.\n\n**Why**\n\nMore users may now get the tether reminder behaviour.\n\n- Flag `tengu_curious_tower`: 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: Tether\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
