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.

Token-reminder settings can now arrive from the server, but your env var and setting still win.

What

The three settings behind the total-tokens reminder (its mode, its budget, and whether it appears after your turn) are read first from a configuration blob the server sends, and only fall back to the feature-flag defaults "padded-countdown", the default budget and on. The CLAUDE_CODE_TOTAL_TOKENS_REMINDER environment variable and the totalTokensReminder settings key still override both.

Details
  • When a server-provided value is used, it is reported as tengu_lapis_anchor_from_client_data.
  • A server value of the wrong type logs a warning and falls back to the flag default rather than failing.
