Remote switch in the plugin and hook check now defaults to on

A plugin and hook check now treats its remote switch as on unless the server says otherwise, so the check fails by default

Unclear It is not clear what you see when this check fails.

What

A check in the area that runs plugins and registers hooks (commands set to run at given moments) passes only when a remotely controlled switch is off. That switch used to count as off when the server sent nothing. It now counts as on, so with no server value the check fails and the behaviour it guarded is off by default. A second check was also added that combines another condition with the same switch being off.

The flag server returned this switch as on for this site's account and for the anonymous baseline, switched on since the previous reading and first seen on 2026-10-14. No reading has been taken under this release yet.

Why

If your account gets no value for this switch from the server, your behaviour changes, because the default flipped.

Feature flag
tengu_melodic_ember On for this account, and not off by default

The flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.
