Compact Line Number Prefix Format

ChangesSection of the release

The Read tool output format is being updated from spaces + line number + arrow to a more compact line number + tab format. The Edit tool description dynamically adapts to tell the model which format is in use, reducing confusion when matching indentation.

Evidence

Dynamic format description (search for "line number + tab") — controlled by tengu_compact_line_prefix_killswitch

[Gradual Rollout] — gated by tengu_compact_line_prefix_killswitch feature flag.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
