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.
When running in essential-traffic-only mode (e.g., CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC), the version display now shows a specific message instead of a generic failure: "Version check skipped (essential-traffic-only mode)".
Evidence
Version check message (search for "essential-traffic-only mode")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
