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.

File edit history snippet budgeting

When several files are edited in a single turn and their accumulated diff snippets would blow past the per-turn budget (16384 chars), later files are now omitted from the in-prompt diff. The model sees:

> Note: <filename> was modified, either by the user or by a linter. ... The diff was omitted because other modified files in this turn already exceeded the snippet budget; use the Read tool if you need the current content.

This trades extra Read calls for predictable context usage.

Evidence

Snippet budget (search for "The diff was omitted because other modified files in this turn already exceeded the snippet budget").

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