The message tells you to set up a browser using the card the app may be showing, or at [https:\/\/claude.ai\/chrome](https:\/\/claude.ai\/chrome).\n\nThis reply does not come from the model; the model is not called at all for it. It only applies in the desktop app and on the web, and only when the `tengu_fizzy_minsky` setting is on. When the server sends no value for that setting, the code falls back to off.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis gives a direct route to connecting Chrome in the desktop and web apps, instead of the model trying a browser task it cannot carry out.\n\n- Flag `tengu_fizzy_minsky`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.300; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, 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: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
