The extra text is worked out from the list of messages in the conversation.\n\nThe step only runs when both of these hold:\n\n- the server-controlled switch `tengu_brindle_otter` is on\n\n- the request did not come from a hook, which is a user-defined command Claude Code runs at set moments\n\n**Why**\n\nThe step is built into Claude Code but only runs when Anthropic's servers turn the switch on. Until then it may change nothing for most people.\n\n- Flag `tengu_brindle_otter`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.321; 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: Internals\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
