17* The [Compliance API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-api) local session endpoints now also return transcripts of Claude in Chrome sessions (`product_surface` value `claude_in_chrome`), in beta for Claude Enterprise organizations, with your existing Compliance Access Key and the `read:compliance_user_data` scope. See [Sessions on users' machines](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-sessions#retrieve-local-sessions).

1721* The Messages API can now [compact a conversation on demand](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/compaction#compact-on-demand-with-the-compaction-parameter) on the Claude API, in beta with the `compact-2026-09-04` beta header. Send the top-level `compaction` parameter, and the API returns a signed `compaction` block that summarizes the messages you sent. On later requests, send that block first, in place of those messages. You choose when to compact, the request can run in the background, and you can keep recent turns word for word after the summary. On models with preserved thinking, the thinking in those kept turns can stay valid.
