Feature flags are remote switches that turn parts of the app on or off. Before, Claude Code skipped saving a flag result that had not changed only when `CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE` was set. It now also skips it under one more condition.\n\nThere is also a new option for fetching these flags while you are signed out. When that option is used cannot be seen in this release.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes when remote flag values are fetched and stored on your machine.\n\n- Area: Internals\n- Names: `CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE`\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
