`--birch-is-evening`

> sets the birch ranker to assume it is evening for birch chip ranking purposes.

i begin to suspect there might be a better way of organizing all this functionality

I've been nerd sniped and am trawling through the code trying to understand what this means.

Apparently there is something called a "Birch Bar" which I've never heard of, it seems to be related to calendar events... which, is weird as I have never seen a native calendar in chrome.

I think that's part of the ChromeOS window manager. Note that the file you posted is in the "ash" namespace.

> Ash is the “Aura Shell”, the window manager and system UI for Chrome OS.

I'd guess someone at Google decided to use tree-related codenames for ash components :)

    “Shelf party” was an Easter-egg feature that made shelf icons fly around the screen. It did not launch and was removed in June 2023.

Now I want to see if I can find a May 2023 build of chromium with a --enable-shelf-party flag.

That’s when `—organize-functionality` gets added

Google pivoting to the mulch business?
