Claude Code v2.1.317 ·

The yield-to-person prompt is now switched separately for each error reason

Whether Claude Code's yield-to-person prompt applies now depends on the error reason, and a new other reason has its own remote switch

Unclear It is not clear what the yield-to-person prompt shows a reader or when they would see it.

What

Claude Code has a yield-to-person prompt, which hands control back to a person when a request runs into certain problems. Whether it applies is now worked out separately for each reason. Remote switches decide it. These are settings Claude Code reads from Anthropic's servers.

A main switch, tengu_cosmic_crayon, is read first. If it is not on, nothing about the prompt changes. If it is on, the reasons are handled like this:

  • rate_limit and no_request_token: the prompt applies.
  • server_error and model_not_found: these follow a second switch, tengu_cozy_pinwheel.
  • other, a new reason: this follows a third switch, tengu_abstract_thunder.

Before, only server_error and model_not_found were given a second check. When this site last read them, the main switch and tengu_cozy_pinwheel both came back off, for this site's account and for an anonymous account.

Why

The new other reason has its own switch. It can therefore be turned on or off apart from the server error and model not found reasons.

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

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.
