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.

History Search

Prompt history search shows matches as it scans instead of making you wait.

What

The prompt history picker no longer blocks until the whole scan finishes. It shows partial matches while scanning, and if the search hits its byte budget it stops and marks the results truncated. An empty list mid-scan reads "Searching older prompts…" rather than "No matching prompts".

Details
  • Three statuses: scanning while walking history, truncated when the byte budget is reached, complete when the scan finishes.
  • A scan that fails partway keeps whatever it had already collected instead of discarding it.
Evidence

Searching older prompts…

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