Nothing in them says what they control. A text label, `x-cowork-enrollment`, was also added.\n\nTwo existing switches now fall back to off when the server sends nothing:\n\n- `tengu_velvety_kay`\n\n- `tengu_mellow_heron`, which is now read with that fallback where Claude Code builds a task prompt\n\nIn readings taken before this release, the flag server returned off for both of these for this site's account and for the anonymous baseline.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese look like features built in ahead of being switched on. Nothing changes for you unless they are turned on remotely.\n\n- Flag `tengu_velvety_kay`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.311; 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- Flag `tengu_mellow_heron`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.311; this account: no value returned, 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: Internals\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
