+# Adding New Feature Flags
+
+The feature flag system is designed to be easily extensible. Follow these steps to add a new feature flag:
+
+## Step 1: Add Flag Constant
+
+In `featureflag.go`, add your new flag constant:
+
+```go
+const (
+    // ... existing constants ...
+
+    // flagEnableTelemetry controls whether telemetry is enabled for the Go driver
+    flagEnableTelemetry = "databricks.partnerplatform.clientConfigsFeatureFlags.enableTelemetryForGoDriver"
+
+    // YOUR NEW FLAG - Add it here
+    flagEnableNewFeature = "databricks.partnerplatform.clientConfigsFeatureFlags.enableNewFeatureForGoDriver"
+)
+```
+
+## Step 2: Register Flag for Fetching
+
+In `featureflag.go`, add your flag to `getAllFeatureFlags()`:
+
+```go
+func getAllFeatureFlags() []string {
+    return []string{
+        flagEnableTelemetry,
+        flagEnableNewFeature,  // Add your new flag here
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Step 3: Add Public Method
+
+In `featureflag.go`, add a public method to check your flag:
+
+```go
+// isNewFeatureEnabled checks if the new feature is enabled for the host.
+// Uses cached value if available and not expired.
+func (c *featureFlagCache) isNewFeatureEnabled(ctx context.Context, host string, httpClient *http.Client) (bool, error) {
+    return c.getFeatureFlag(ctx, host, httpClient, flagEnableNewFeature)
+}
+```
+
+## Step 4: Use It
+
+```go
+// Example usage in your code:
+flagCache := getFeatureFlagCache()
+enabled, err := flagCache.isNewFeatureEnabled(ctx, host, httpClient)
+if err != nil {
+    // Handle error (falls back to false on error with no cache)
+}
+
+if enabled {
+    // Feature is enabled - use new behavior
+} else {
+    // Feature is disabled - use old behavior
+}
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Single Request for All Flags
+All flags are fetched together in a single HTTP request:
+```
+GET /api/2.0/feature-flags?flags=flagOne,flagTwo,flagThree
+```
+
+### 15-Minute Cache
+Flags are cached for 15 minutes per host to minimize API calls.
+
+### Graceful Degradation
+- If fetch fails but cache exists → returns stale cache (no error)
+- If fetch fails and no cache → returns error (caller defaults to false)
+
+### Thread-Safe
+Multiple goroutines can safely call feature flag methods concurrently.
+
+## Example: Adding Circuit Breaker Flag
+
+```go
+// Step 1: Add constant
+const (
+    flagEnableTelemetry = "databricks.partnerplatform.clientConfigsFeatureFlags.enableTelemetryForGoDriver"
+    flagEnableCircuitBreaker = "databricks.partnerplatform.clientConfigsFeatureFlags.enableCircuitBreakerForGoDriver"
+)
+
+// Step 2: Register for fetching
+func getAllFeatureFlags() []string {
+    return []string{
+        flagEnableTelemetry,
+        flagEnableCircuitBreaker,
+    }
+}
+
+// Step 3: Add public method
+func (c *featureFlagCache) isCircuitBreakerEnabled(ctx context.Context, host string, httpClient *http.Client) (bool, error) {
+    return c.getFeatureFlag(ctx, host, httpClient, flagEnableCircuitBreaker)
+}
+
+// Step 4: Use it
+if enabled, _ := flagCache.isCircuitBreakerEnabled(ctx, host, httpClient); enabled {
+    // Use circuit breaker
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+✅ **Single HTTP request** - All flags fetched at once
+✅ **15-minute caching** - Minimal API calls
+✅ **Graceful degradation** - Uses stale cache on errors
+✅ **Thread-safe** - Safe for concurrent access
+✅ **Easy to extend** - Just 3 simple steps

 #### Rationale
 - **Per-host caching**: Feature flags cached by host to prevent rate limiting
+- **Multi-flag support**: Fetches all flags in a single request for efficiency
 - **Reference counting**: Tracks number of connections per host for proper cleanup
 - **Automatic expiration**: Refreshes cached flags after TTL expires (15 minutes)
 - **Thread-safe**: Uses sync.RWMutex for concurrent access
+- **Synchronous fetch**: Blocks on cache miss (see Section 6.3 for behavior details)
+- **Thundering herd protection**: Only one fetch per host at a time

-### 6.4 Opt-In Control & Priority
+#### Synchronous Fetch Behavior
 
-The telemetry system supports multiple layers of control for gradual rollout with clear priority order:
+**Feature flag fetching is synchronous** and may block driver initialization.
 
-**Opt-In Priority (highest to lowest):**
-1. **forceEnableTelemetry=true** - Bypasses all server-side feature flag checks, always enables
-2. **enableTelemetry=false** - Explicit opt-out, always disables telemetry
-3. **enableTelemetry=true + Server Feature Flag** - User wants telemetry, respects server decision
-4. **Server-Side Feature Flag Only** - Databricks-controlled when user hasn't specified preference
-5. **Default** - Disabled (`false`)
+**Key Characteristics:**
+- 10-second HTTP timeout per request
+- Uses RetryableClient (4 retries, exponential backoff 1s-30s)
+- 15-minute cache minimizes fetch frequency
+- Thundering herd protection (only one fetch per host at a time)
+
+**When It Blocks:**
+- First connection to host: blocks for HTTP fetch (up to ~70s with retries)
+- Cache expiry (every 15 min): first caller blocks, others return stale cache
+- Concurrent callers: only first blocks, others return stale cache immediately
+
+**Why synchronous:** Simple, deterministic, 99% cache hit rate, matches JDBC driver.
+
+### 6.4 Config Overlay Pattern
+
+**UPDATE (Phase 4-5):** The telemetry system now uses a **config overlay pattern** that provides a consistent, clear priority model. This pattern is designed to be reusable across all driver configurations.
+
+#### Config Overlay Priority (highest to lowest):
+
+1. **Client Config** - Explicitly set by user (overrides server)
+2. **Server Config** - Feature flag controls when client doesn't specify
+3. **Fail-Safe Default** - Disabled when server unavailable
+
+This approach eliminates the need for special bypass flags like `forceEnableTelemetry` because client config naturally has priority.
+
+#### Implementation:
 
 ```go
-// isTelemetryEnabled checks if telemetry should be enabled for this connection.
-// Implements the priority-based decision tree for telemetry enablement.
-func isTelemetryEnabled(ctx context.Context, cfg *Config, host string, httpClient *http.Client) bool {
-	// Priority 1: Force enable bypasses all server checks
-	if cfg.ForceEnableTelemetry {
-		return true
-	}
+// EnableTelemetry is a pointer to distinguish three states:
+// - nil: not set by client (use server feature flag)
+// - true: client wants enabled (overrides server)
+// - false: client wants disabled (overrides server)
+type Config struct {
+	EnableTelemetry *bool
+	// ... other fields
+}
 
-	// Priority 2: Explicit opt-out always disables
-	if !cfg.EnableTelemetry && cfg.EnableTelemetry != nil {
-		// User explicitly set to false
-		return false
+// isTelemetryEnabled implements config overlay
+func isTelemetryEnabled(ctx context.Context, cfg *Config, host string, httpClient *http.Client) bool {
+	// Priority 1: Client explicitly set (overrides everything)
+	if cfg.EnableTelemetry != nil {
+		return *cfg.EnableTelemetry
 	}
 
-	// Priority 3 & 4: Check server-side feature flag
+	// Priority 2: Check server-side feature flag
 	flagCache := getFeatureFlagCache()
 	serverEnabled, err := flagCache.isTelemetryEnabled(ctx, host, httpClient)
 	if err != nil {

+#### Configuration Behavior Matrix:
+
+| Client Sets | Server Returns | Result | Explanation |
+|-------------|----------------|--------|-------------|
+| `true` | `false` | **`true`** | Client overrides server |
+| `false` | `true` | **`false`** | Client overrides server |
+| `true` | error | **`true`** | Client overrides server error |
+| unset | `true` | **`true`** | Use server config |
+| unset | `false` | **`false`** | Use server config |
+| unset | error | **`false`** | Fail-safe default |
+
+#### Configuration Parameter Summary:
+
+| Parameter | Value | Behavior | Use Case |
+|-----------|-------|----------|----------|
+| `enableTelemetry=true` | Client forces enabled | Always send telemetry (overrides server) | Testing, debugging, opt-in users |
+| `enableTelemetry=false` | Client forces disabled | Never send telemetry (overrides server) | Privacy-conscious users, opt-out |
+| *(not set)* | Use server flag | Server controls via feature flag | Default behavior - Databricks-controlled rollout |
+
+#### Benefits of Config Overlay:
+
+- ✅ **Simpler**: Client > Server > Default (3 clear layers)
+- ✅ **Consistent**: Same pattern can be used for all driver configs
+- ✅ **No bypass flags**: Client config naturally has priority
+- ✅ **Reusable**: General `ConfigValue[T]` type in `internal/config/overlay.go`
+- ✅ **Type-safe**: Uses Go generics for any config type
+
+#### General Config Overlay System:

+A reusable config overlay system is available in `internal/config/overlay.go`:

-| Flag | Behavior | Use Case |
-|------|----------|----------|
-| `forceEnableTelemetry=true` | Bypass server flags, always enable | Testing, internal users, debugging |
-| `enableTelemetry=true` | Enable if server allows | User opt-in during beta phase |
-| `enableTelemetry=false` | Always disable telemetry | User wants to opt-out |
-| *(no flags set)* | Respect server feature flag | Default behavior |
+**Note**: A general `ConfigValue[T]` implementation is available in `internal/config/overlay.go` for extending this pattern to other driver configurations.
