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 v2.1.234

Explicit Artifact watches now count as running work

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal2
Artifacts

Freshly armed artifact watchers now show as running work; quiet background ones stay hidden.

What

Background Artifact watchers that Claude armed on its own used to never count as active work. Now a watcher counts as active if auto-react is enabled and it is still inside its freshness window, so explicitly requested or freshly armed live watches show up as running; quiet background ones stay invisible.

Details
  • A separate list filter keeps automatically started watchers out of the visible task list unless the watch was marked as explicitly requested.
  • This depends on whether auto-react is enabled in the session, not on any build flag.

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