Unclear It is not stated what feature the switch controls.

What

A new switch, tengu_mellow_minsky, is checked together with a separate condition, and both must hold. When the server sends nothing for it, the switch falls back to on.

Next to it is a helper that runs an optional check about launching something in the foreground. If that check fails with an error, the helper answers yes rather than no.

Why

Because the switch falls back to on, whatever it controls runs by default whenever the other condition holds.
