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.

Bash Tool Shell Hint Clarified for Windows

The shell hint injected into agent context on Windows has been improved. When Bash is available alongside PowerShell, the hint now reads: "This tool runs Git Bash (POSIX sh), not cmd.exe or PowerShell. Use Unix shell syntax: /dev/null not NUL, forward slashes, $VAR not %VAR% or $env:VAR." The combined PowerShell + Bash hint also clearly distinguishes that each tool takes its own syntax.

Evidence

New shell hint strings (search for "This tool runs Git Bash (POSIX sh), not cmd.exe or PowerShell")

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