Whether the offer is shown depends on:\n\n- the account's subscription type and permissions\n\n- whether the organization uses zero data retention\n\n- the account's privacy setting\n\n- a remote switch that Claude Code's servers set\n\nThat switch falls back to a value that does not show the offer when the server sends nothing. Only one specific value turns the offer on. Clicks on the offer are recorded. The VS Code integration also gains a privacy checkup option, which depends on the editor supporting it.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis prepares a recommendation that can appear inside your editor, switched on from the server rather than by an update.\n\n- Flag `tengu_quill_meadow`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.321; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: not a boolean we can read) 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: IDE\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
