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.

Windows sandbox runtime now installs machine-wide

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Windows

On Windows the sandbox runtime now installs once machine-wide under ProgramData.

What

On Windows the sandbox runtime directory is taken from ProgramData instead of the per-user local app data folder, so it lives in one machine-wide location. The error raised when the variable is missing was updated to match.

Evidence

throw Error("ProgramData is not set");

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