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.

More process-wide globals moved into a passed-around state object

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal1
Session State

More process-wide variables became fields on a passed-around state object; behaviour is unchanged.

What

The cached user bucket hash, the telemetry-initialised latch, the process exit hook and the fullscreen-strike reset stopped being file-level variables and became fields on a state object handed to the functions that use them. Behaviour is unchanged; the state is just no longer global.

Evidence

cachedUserBucket

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