Source Intelligence

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.

Claude Code v2.1.228

Terminal titles can no longer be dressed up as URLs

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal2
Terminal UI

Terminal titles are sanitised so text cannot disguise itself as a real URL.

What

The text Claude Code writes into your terminal title bar is normalized to NFC before control code points are turned into spaces, enclosing-marker and circle glyphs are collapsed, long titles are truncated with an ellipsis, and :// is rewritten with a lookalike slash so a title cannot read as a real URL.

Details
  • Normalization runs first, so composed and decomposed forms of the same character are sanitized identically.
Evidence

normalize("NFC")

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