Source Intelligence

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.

Process-wide caches are now scoped per host

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Session State

Two sessions running in one process no longer share caches with each other.

What

A broad sweep replaced caches that were shared across the whole process with ones looked up per host, so two sessions running inside one process no longer share them. Single-host runs behave exactly as before.

Details
  • Covers the API key helper cache and its in-flight request, quota fetching, credential ownership, plugin-install listing, subagent token budget accounting, campaign eligibility, the stdin capture buffer, first-paint metrics and several UI stores.
  • The subagent token budget became a class with private fields tracking rolled-over context, task budget re-anchoring and cumulative usage.

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