What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
/update, /tui and the handoff to the desktop app now snapshot the conversation under a named handoff before restarting, so the transcript is carried across rather than picked up by chance. A restart that fails now says so inline instead of leaving the session in limbo.
Details
Handoffs are named "relaunch" and "desktop_handoff", and the storage handle is passed into the relaunch.
The message on failure begins "Couldn't restart Claude Code — ".
The plain-file half of this is active for everyone on this build; the storage-backed half only runs when the tengu_hover_rest flag is on, which it is not by default here.
Evidence
Couldn't restart Claude Code —
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Flag reading movedThe flag server now returns off for tengu_hover_rest, read as this account.A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
