DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Improvements

Performance & Stability

  • Added proper timeout handling for bash commands
  • Default timeout: 2 minutes (120 seconds)
  • Maximum configurable timeout: 10 minutes (600 seconds)
  • Fixed Windows path handling for escaped characters
  • Improved telemetry for metrics collection

Environment Configuration

  • Environment variables from configuration are now loaded earlier in the startup process
  • This ensures custom environment settings are available throughout the entire session

Better User Onboarding

  • New users (fewer than 10 startups) now receive targeted tips:
  • "Start with small features or bug fixes, tell Claude to propose a plan, and verify its suggested edits"
  • Replaced advanced git worktree tips with more beginner-friendly guidance

️ Safety Improvements

  • Added supervisor interrupt handling with clear messaging
  • New interrupt message: "Interaction interrupted by the safety supervisor."
  • Better separation of different interruption scenarios (user interrupts vs safety interrupts)
