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.

Peer idle notices are batched and capped

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Cross-Session Messaging

Idle-peer notices are batched and capped so they cannot flood your terminal.

What

Notices about idle peer sessions are now collected rather than printed one at a time: they are held for 500ms, flushed early once 50 pile up, and limited to 10 shown per rolling minute with the rest collapsed into a summary line.

Details
  • Notices whose session no longer matches the current conversation are dropped if you clear the conversation inside the batching window.
  • Notices that arrived before the view mounted are replayed, also capped at 10 with the remainder summarised.
  • The batching is wired into the REPL unconditionally; what decides whether peer idle notices are produced at all sits outside this code.
Evidence

recorded in the last minute.

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