It is off unless it is switched on remotely. Claude Code's list of diagnostic items also gains one named `auth_session_owner_ask`. Neither does anything you can see yet.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis marks a feature that is in the build but not yet turned on or described.\n\n- Flag `tengu_mellow_anchor`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.317; 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- Area: Auth\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"}
