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.

npm install deprecation warning dropped from startup

Useful3 Signal2
Startup

The startup nag telling npm installers to switch to the native version is gone.

claude install
What

The warning shown to people who installed via npm is gone. Both the "Installed via npm (deprecated)" line with its "run claude install to switch to the native version" hint and the underlying setup-issue flag behind it were deleted; they were present in 2.1.226.

Evidence

Installed via npm (deprecated), npmInstallDeprecated

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