It is off unless it is switched on remotely. It can be set to apply:\n\n- everywhere\n\n- only in hosted use, and only when Cowork is in use\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is a feature present in the code but not yet switched on by default, and it is tied to Cowork.\n\n- Flag `tengu_precious_koala`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.299; 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: Cowork\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
