What the docs quietly changed.
Anthropic's published documentation, fetched on a schedule and diffed against the last copy. Every edit dated, including the ones that never made a release note.
Last poll read all 4 cleanly: Claude Code CLI, Claude Developer Platform, Claude Documentation, Model Context Protocol. A date here is when this site noticed, not when Anthropic edited.
