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 v2.1.232

Cache diagnostics no longer imply a model switch that did not happen

You'll notice

Elsewhere

Cache diagnostics say "hydrated baseline" instead of falsely implying you switched models.

What

When Claude Code explains why a prompt cache was invalidated, it now prints hydrated baseline if the thing it compared against was reconstructed at startup rather than an actual earlier request, instead of naming a previous model or removed beta flags.

Evidence

hydrated baseline

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