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.

Cloud-session model changes are announced rather than prompting

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Cloud Sessions

A cloud session changing model now just notifies you instead of opening a local prompt.

What

When a cloud session changes model, you now get a notification instead of the local model-change flow being attempted: either "The cloud session reset its model to the workspace default" or a message naming the model it switched to.

Details
  • Only applies on the remote thin-client path; local sessions keep the existing flow.
  • The consent path for the newer model now latches a marker so the error and consent branches cannot both fire for one switch.
Evidence

The cloud session reset its model to the workspace default

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