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.

Forked sessions inherit the parent's task list

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal1
Sessions

Forking a session now carries the parent's task list over instead of starting empty.

What

Forking a session now copies the parent's task entries and its high-water mark into the fork, so the new session starts with the same task list instead of an empty one.

Details
  • each entry is written with an if-absent precondition, so an existing entry in the fork is not overwritten
  • a bounded number of copies run concurrently, and copying stops at a cap with "[tasks] carry to fork stopped at the cap"
  • an individual failure logs "[tasks] carry to fork skipped" and does not abort the rest
  • runs only on the newer key/value storage path; when no such backend is attached to the session, the copy is not reached
Evidence

[tasks] carry to fork stopped at the cap

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