Channels not available on Max plan - was working previously

Description

Discord channels plugin was working previously but now shows:

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

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.104
• OS: macOS (Darwin 25.2.0)
• Subscription: Max plan
• Auth method: claude.ai login
• Plugin: discord@claude-plugins-official v0.0.4

What I've verified

• Plugin is installed and enabled (claude plugins list confirms ✔ enabled)
• Bot token is set in ~/.claude/channels/discord/.env
• access.json is properly configured with allowlist policy
• Auth is via claude.ai (not API key or Console)
• No managed/enterprise settings blocking channels
• CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC is NOT set
• Reinstalled the plugin — same result
• Restarted Claude Code with --channels plugin:discord@claude-plugins-official — same result

Expected behavior

Channels should connect to Discord as they did previously.

Actual behavior

The --channels flag is silently ignored with the message "Channels are not currently available." This appears to be a server-side feature flag issue.
