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 v2.1.233

Settings and agent-directory lookups no longer block startup

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal1
Startup

Settings and agent-directory lookups no longer block the event loop while Claude Code starts.

What

Directory walks that used synchronous file stats now use their promise-based equivalents, and the settings loader awaits its source list before reading settings in parallel. Same results, less blocking of the event loop while Claude Code starts.

Evidence

ENFILE

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