It now also accepts \"tell\". Depending on a condition inside that step, a \"tell\" from the server ends up either as \"tell\" or as \"on\".\n\nWhen the server sends nothing, the setting still falls back to \"off\", so the new mode only applies if the server sends it. The condition Claude Code checks before it reads the setting at all has also changed.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis looks like a new variant of an existing experiment being rolled out in stages, with the server deciding who gets it.\n\n- Flag `tengu_tidy_shelf`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.314; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: not a boolean we can read) 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: Attachments\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
