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.

Effort Flag Passthrough Now Requires All Three Models Launched

The --effort flag is now passed to subprocesses (e.g. headless subagent spawns) only when all three model launch flags — Opus 4.7, Opus 4.8, and Fable 5 — have been acknowledged by the user (unpinOpus47LaunchEffort, unpinOpus48LaunchEffort, unpinFable5LaunchEffort all true). Previously only Opus 4.7 and Opus 4.8 were required.

Evidence

Conditional effort passthrough (search for "unpinFable5LaunchEffort")

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