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.

Settings presence checks can read through the newer settings store

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Settings

Checks for explicitly set settings keys can now read from the newer settings store.

cleanupPeriodDays
What

The check for whether a key such as cleanupPeriodDays is written explicitly in a settings file is now asynchronous and can be given a reader, in which case user settings come from the newer store instead of the file on disk. A read failure is logged and treated as unknown rather than as absent, and the retention cleanup gate became async to match.

Evidence

rawSettingsKeyPresence: v5 user-settings read failed

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