Kill switches

A kill switch is an operational on/off you can flip from the dashboard to instantly disable a feature. Kill switches ride the flags blob alongside gates, so reading one is local with no extra fetch. They are not user-scoped.

GetKillswitch

c := shipeasy.NewClient(acct)

paused := c.GetKillswitch("payments_paused")  // bool — true means the switch is engaged
if paused {
    // feature is killed
}

true means the switch is engaged (the feature is killed). It returns false when the engine isn't initialized or the switch is absent.

Named per-key "switches"

The dashboard "switches" feature lets one kill switch carry named per-key overrides. Pass an optional switchKey to read a specific one; it falls back to the kill switch's top-level value when that key has no override:

// Pass the switch variant as the switchKey argument. When that named key has
// no override configured, the read falls back to the kill switch's top-level
// value.
killedForEU := c.GetKillswitch("payments_paused", "eu")

Note: a gate's own kill state is also folded into gate evaluation — a killswitched gate reads false from GetFlag with reason OFF. GetKillswitch is for standalone kill-switch resources.
