Unclear It is not known what the experiment changes about image requests when it is on.

What

When Claude Code sends a request that includes an image without a content fingerprint, and no other options are set, it now checks an experiment switch and records the result. The switch is off unless it is turned on remotely. When it was read, the flag server returned off for this site's account and for an anonymous account. It has not been read under this release yet.

Why

This is an experiment tied to image uploads that is built in but not yet visible.

Feature flag
tengu_twin_heron Off in both readings

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.
