Claude Code itself only passes them along, and the extension decides what they do.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese look like VS Code features that are switched on unless they are turned off remotely. They are controlled from the server rather than by a setting you can change.\n\n- Flag `tengu_vscode_math_rendering`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.301; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: on) 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- Flag `tengu_vscode_restore_breaker`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.301; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: on) 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: VS Code\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
