New Features

Metrics Opt-Out Detection

• Added automatic detection of organization-level metrics opt-out preferences
• Claude Code now checks if your organization has disabled metrics logging and respects that setting
• The check is cached for 1 hour to minimize API calls
• If the check fails, metrics are disabled by default for privacy

Enhanced Shell Snapshot Management

• Improved shell snapshot creation with better error handling and file locking
• Automatic cleanup of old shell snapshots (older than configured threshold)
• Shell snapshots are now timestamped with random suffixes to avoid conflicts
• Added file locking to prevent concurrent access issues
• Shell snapshot files are automatically cleaned up on shutdown

Todo List Reminders

• Automatic todo reminders to help you stay on track with your tasks
• Claude will remind you about your todo list after 20 turns without using TodoWrite
• Reminders appear at most every 10 turns to avoid being intrusive
• Example: After extended conversations, Claude will prompt: "You have X pending tasks in your todo list"

System Reminders

• New system-reminder functionality for injecting context-aware guidance
• Allows Claude to provide system-level hints and reminders during conversations
