Unclear What Claude Code does differently when it recognises one of these errors.

What

Claude Code can now recognise a server error (status 500) that comes with the header x-should-retry: false, which is the server saying the request should not be tried again. This only works when the tengu_woolly_kettle setting is on, and it is off unless switched on remotely. Earlier readings of that setting returned off for this site's account and for a signed-out account.

Why

This may change what Claude Code does after such an error, for example whether it tries the request again.

Feature flag
tengu_woolly_kettle 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.
