Claude Code holds a piece of guidance saying Claude in Chrome needs no enabling. That guidance has moved, and a new switch, `tengu_violin_guarneri`, now sits in its old place. Anthropic's server can turn the switch on or off per account. It is off unless switched on remotely.\n\nThe last readings, taken under an earlier release, found it off for this site's account and for a signed-out baseline.\n\n**Why**\n\nA switch that is off by default points to a change in how Claude is told about Chrome that has not been turned on yet.\n\n- Flag `tengu_violin_guarneri`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.300; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, 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: Claude in Chrome\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
