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.
