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 v2.1.229

Assistant messages built from streamed text now report a stop reason

Under the hood
Useful3 Signal2
SDK Output

Stream-json output now includes the stop reason field tools expect on assistant messages.

What

When Claude Code assembles an assistant message from accumulated text on the stream-json path, it now sets stop_reason: "end_turn" and stop_sequence: null. Tools consuming stream-json output see a complete, correctly shaped message instead of one missing those fields.

Evidence

stop_reason: "end_turn"

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