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.

Clearer Thinking Mode Warning

The warning when changing thinking mode mid-conversation is now more explicit about performance impacts.

Old message: "Changing mid-conversation may reduce quality. For best results, set this at the start of a session."

New message: "Changing thinking mode mid-conversation will increase latency and may reduce quality. For best results, set this at the start of a session."

The message now mentions latency impact explicitly, helping users make informed decisions.

Evidence

Line 472714 (settings UI), line 559581 (toggle confirmation dialog), contains "Changing thinking mode mid-conversation will increase latency and may reduce quality"

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