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.

Brace Pattern Expansion Budget

Glob patterns with brace expansion ({a,b,c}) now have a budget guard. If expanding a brace pattern would produce too many results or exceed the byte budget, it is used unexpanded with a warning:

> Brace pattern expansion exceeds the budget; using it unexpanded: {pattern}

This prevents accidental combinatorial explosion from deeply nested or wide brace patterns.

Evidence

Budget guard (search for "Brace pattern expansion exceeds the budget")

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