A remote session is one that runs on a server rather than on your own computer. The checks decide whether an MCP task worker may be woken up. MCP is the Model Context Protocol, the system Claude Code uses to connect to outside tools. One of the checks looks for a setting called `allow_mcp_task_worker_wake`.\n\nThe new switches are off unless they are switched on remotely. A related number is also read and capped at a fixed maximum. It falls back to 0.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese checks are groundwork for MCP task handling in cloud sessions. They are off unless turned on remotely, so they change nothing until then.\n\n- Flag `tengu_zippy_piglet`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.323; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, 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- Flag `tengu_mossy_ferry`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.323; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, 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- Flag `tengu_nested_acorn`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.323; 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: Cloud Sessions\n- Names: `allow_mcp_task_worker_wake`\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
