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 v2.1.236

Remote settings caching watches a second file and skips redundant priming

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Settings

Cached remote settings now come with a companion attestation file, and both must load cleanly.

What

The component that reads cached remote settings from disk now tracks two files rather than one, the cache itself and a companion file whose contents become an attestation string, reading the companion only after the cache and standing the whole view down if either read fails or is oversized.

Details
  • Priming is now skipped when a cache was already loaded this session, joining the existing skip reasons of ineligibility and the CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_SETTINGS_PATH override.
  • The prime log line now reports whether the companion attestation was present.
  • Applies only on the newer storage path; no new flag. Visible only in debug logs.
