What
Claude Code has switches that Anthropic can turn on or off from its servers, called gates or flags. This release adds several and removes two:
- New in the flag list:
tengu_wondrous_tulip,tengu_hashed_mitten,tengu_polished_fountain,tengu_sorted_metcalfe,tengu_piped_popcorn,tengu_warm_elephant,tengu_floofy_havenandtengu_honest_magpie. tengu_heedful_sparrowandtengu_jolly_wreathare also new, and both are added to a flag list.- Dropped:
tengu_cobalt_plinth_orpineandtengu_zippy_harbor.tengu_zippy_harborwas one of the switches previously checked early at startup. tengu_warm_elephantfalls back to off when no value arrives from the server.tengu_steady_treehousereplaces a fixed text that said "Set up GitHub for cloud sessions automatically by running /web-setup"./web-setupis the command that connects your GitHub account for cloud sessions.tengu_fuzzy_hearthsits next to the "# Claude in Chrome browser automation" prompt.- A function that always returned false now reads a switch, and it still falls back to false. Whether this is linked to
tengu_floofy_havenwas not established. - A new check looks through a cloud session's transcript (the record of the conversation) for an earlier call from Claude that never got an answer. It is guarded by
tengu_sorted_metcalfe, andtengu_piped_popcornwas added next to it. Claude Code also keeps a record when it bridges a gap in a stored transcript. That record is now skipped when a new extra input is set. - The request that creates a session now also forwards
autofixOnPrCreate.
What most of these switches control was not worked out.
For tengu_wondrous_tulip, tengu_hashed_mitten, tengu_polished_fountain, tengu_sorted_metcalfe, tengu_piped_popcorn and tengu_warm_elephant, readings were taken before this release. In each, Anthropic's flag server returned off for this site's account and off for an anonymous check. None has been read under this release yet. Nothing has been read about tengu_heedful_sparrow, tengu_jolly_wreath, tengu_steady_treehouse or tengu_floofy_haven.
Why
These switches mark features being prepared. They change behaviour only when Anthropic turns them on, and the readings above do not tell you whether any is on for you.
tengu_warm_elephant Off in both readingsThe 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.
