Source Intelligence

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.

Update Safety Guards

What

New validation prevents /update when it could cause problems.

Details
  • "Cannot /update while background tasks are running — wait for them to finish, then try again." — prevents mid-task updates that could disrupt running agents
  • "Cannot /update — session transcript is in a different project directory than the child would resolve. Exit the worktree or restart manually." — prevents update failures in worktree contexts
Evidence

Update guard messages (search for "Cannot /update while background tasks")

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