Channels research preview: org shows "not currently available" despite admin toggle enabled

Summary

Channels show as \"not currently available\" on startup despite the org admin toggle being enabled at claude.ai → Admin settings → Claude Code → Channels.

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.81
• Platform: Arch Linux (omarchy) and macOS (both affected)
• Auth: claude.ai OAuth (Team plan)
• Org: (organizationUuid: 6cedc424-6214-4630-a064-36576e952b37)

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable \"Allow channel notifications\" in Admin settings → Claude Code → Channels (toggle is visibly ON)
2. Install the Telegram plugin: /plugin install telegram@claude-plugins-official
3. Run: claude --channels plugin:telegram@claude-plugins-official

Observed behaviour

--channels ignored (plugin:telegram@claude-plugins-official)
Channels are not currently available

The startup message appears on both macOS and Arch Linux, ruling out a machine-specific issue.

Diagnostics

• tengu_penguins_enabled: True in cachedGrowthBookFeatures — feature flag is on
• penguinModeOrgEnabled: False in ~/.claude.json — org-level flag is not being set despite admin toggle being enabled
• The Telegram plugin is correctly installed (installed_plugins.json shows telegram@claude-plugins-official)
• tengu_harbor_ledger includes Telegram in the approved allowlist

Request

Please enrol org 6cedc424-6214-4630-a064-36576e952b37 in the channels research preview, or advise if there is an additional step required beyond enabling the admin toggle.
