This used to need two things: the `CLAUDE_CODE_WEBSEARCH_CITATIONS` environment variable, a setting you put in your shell before starting Claude Code, and a remotely controlled switch that fell back to off. The remote switch is no longer checked. If you set `CLAUDE_CODE_WEBSEARCH_CITATIONS`, you now get citations.\n\n**Why**\n\nWhether you get citations is now entirely in your hands. Set the environment variable to turn them on, and leave it unset to keep the old behaviour.\n\n- Flag `tengu_jolly_sparrow_enabled`: On for this account, and not off by default (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.321; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, 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: Web Search\n- Names: `CLAUDE_CODE_WEBSEARCH_CITATIONS`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
