    Sorry folks, this is a rollout artifact, we needed a way to turn this off remotely via feature flags if it broke something, and with telemetry off you don't get those. It's already been fixed as part of v2.1.281 releasing today.

    The mod is source available here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;anthropics&#x2F;claude-code&#x2F;tree&#x2F;main&#x2F;mods&#x2F;agents-md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;anthropics&#x2F;claude-code&#x2F;tree&#x2F;main&#x2F;mods&#x2F;age...

    Apologies again folks, this was a fully human error on my part - I should&#x27;ve found a better way to launch with a kill-switch.

      So what Anthropic calls &quot;telemetry&quot; is really &quot;telechangeability&quot;? That&#x27;s sits with me even less comfortably than did the idea that some features are only available with telemetry enabled.

        Seems like they overloaded whatever they use for telemetry to do feature flags.

        It’s not a crazy conspiracy. They messed up, it’s fine.
