A remote setting is an on\/off switch that Anthropic's servers can flip without shipping a new version. If the server sends no value, Claude Code treats this one as off.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn practice nothing changes for you unless the switch is turned on remotely. It is most likely groundwork for a feature that has not appeared yet.\n\n- Flag `tengu_soft_spark`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.312; 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: Internals\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
