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.\n\nThe 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.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf your account gets no value for this switch from the server, your behaviour changes, because the default flipped.\n\n- Flag `tengu_melodic_ember`: On for this account, and not off by default (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.304; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, 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: Plugins\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
