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.

Cleanup asks the storage layer whether a path exists

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal2
Internals

Cleanup asks the storage layer whether paths exist rather than touching the filesystem directly.

What

Session, history, task, debug and file-history cleanup no longer inspect the filesystem directly when the newer storage layer is active; they ask it whether each path is absent, a link, a directory or something else, and fall back to a direct filesystem check only when it has no answer.

Details
  • The storage handle is now passed through cleanup, plugin caching, CLAUDE.md include checks, MCP client teardown and the resume picker.
  • Whether the new branch runs is decided by the build-wide storage-v5 check; otherwise the previous filesystem path is used unchanged.

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