It can now mark its result as citable, so the page text is handed to Claude as a search result with citations turned on, split into pieces of about 500 characters. Claude can then point to the part of the page it used. All of these must hold:\n\n- `CLAUDE_CODE_WEBSEARCH_CITATIONS` is set\n\n- the fetch took the path where a secondary model handles the page\n\n- the fetch was made by a subagent, a helper agent Claude starts for part of a task\n\n- a remotely controlled switch is on\n\nPages over a size limit still come back as plain text, and the citable mark is dropped where results are created again.\n\n**Why**\n\nSetting the environment variable is not enough on its own. The remote switch is off unless Anthropic's server turns it on, and it read off for this site's account and for an anonymous check.\n\n- Flag `tengu_proud_flurry_enabled`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.318; 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: WebFetch\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
