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.

Daemon Version Management

What

A new background daemon system with a lock file (daemon.lock) that manages version consistency and auto-restart.

Details
  • The daemon lock file contains a PID and version, enabling version-mismatch detection
  • If a running daemon's version differs from the current CLI, it signals a restart: "Signaled claude daemon to restart"
  • Lock file validation ensures the process is still alive before taking action
Evidence

Daemon lock system (search for "daemon.lock" and "Signaled claude daemon to restart")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
