What's the best way to ask about WFH flexibility early on? I'm interviewing for an in-office role, but I'm way more productive at home. I don't want the recruiter to think I'm trying to avoid people or whatever. I'm cool with hybrid, just want to be honest upfront.

Just be upfront and ask them if it’s even an option. Our company starts people at the office, but allows them to “graduate” to work from home if they’re able to keep their metrics within a certain range when they’re in the office

They either have the infrastructure to handle work from home request requests or they don't. Asking won't really change that, and at least you'll know whether or not you want to pursue the job based on what they are willing to accommodate. I don't think you need to ask in any sort of strategic way, it's a pretty straightforward question.

Generally, companies that do offer remote or hybrid work are up front about it. That being said, I have seen companies where it is entirely up to the manager of the department as to whether they allow it or not.
