claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature flag (tengu_grey_step2) silently overrides explicit effortLevel setting [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Manually setting tengu_grey_step2.enabled to false in .claude.json may temporarily resolve the issue, but a more permanent solution is needed to ensure user settings take precedence over feature flags.

Guidance

• Verify that the tengu_grey_step2 feature flag is indeed the cause of the override by checking the .claude.json file for its current state and the settings.json for the explicit user setting.
• Check for any existing logic in the code that handles the precedence of user settings over feature flags and ensure it is correctly implemented.
• Consider adding a check to prevent feature flags from overriding explicit user settings, potentially by introducing a new configuration option or modifying the existing logic to prioritize user preferences.
• Review the Growthbook sync process to understand how it updates the .claude.json file and see if there's a way to prevent it from overwriting manual changes to feature flags.

Example

No code example is provided due to the lack of specific code details in the issue.

Notes

The provided workaround may not be permanent due to the Growthbook sync overwriting manual changes. A more robust solution would involve modifying the code to respect user settings over feature flags.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Manually set tengu_grey_step2.enabled to false in .claude.json as a temporary fix, and then work on implementing a code change to prioritize user settings over feature flags to prevent future overrides.
