Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Agent Mode Command Validation [Gradual Rollout]

Feature flag
tengu_amber_sentinel On for this account, and not off by default

The flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.

This account: on · anonymous baseline: on · compiled default in v2.1.98: no gate table built for this version

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.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.98. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

What

Validation layer that blocks certain long-running synchronous bash commands when running in agent mode.

Status

Feature-flagged via tengu_amber_sentinel

Details
  • When enabled, checks commands before execution in foreground mode
  • Blocks standalone sleep commands with duration ≥ 2 seconds
  • Designed to prevent agents from wasting time on unnecessary blocking operations
  • Commands can bypass the check by using run_in_background: true
Evidence

Agent command validation (gated by tengu_amber_sentinel, search for "standalone sleep")

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