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.

Improved safety-filter messaging

The model-switch notification now distinguishes between general content flags and domain-specific ones. When a domain is known, the message reads:

> "[Model] has specific safety measures that flag messages with cybersecurity topics. Switched to [other model]. …"

For general flags: "[Model] has specific safety measures that flagged something in this message. This sometimes happens with safe, normal conversations."

The switchModelsOnFlag setting description has also been clarified from "When safety filters block a message" to "When safety measures flag a message", and the consequence updated from "your chat may stop" to "your session will pause instead".

Evidence

Domain-specific safety message builder (search for "has specific safety measures that flag messages with")

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