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.

The build version is now 2.1.236.

What

The embedded version, build time and commit stamp move to 2.1.236. The version string is inlined in roughly a hundred places, including telemetry, update checks and the user-agent header.

Evidence

BUILD_TIME: "2026-08-19T16:25:31Z"

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