What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
When Claude Code is started by a scheduled routine on Anthropic's side, the notification tool now gets extra instructions: wrap the message in <routine_summary> tags so the first sentence becomes the phone banner and the full text becomes the email body. Ordinary interactive sessions never see this appendix.
Details
Appended only when the launch entrypoint (CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT) is remote_trigger or remote_cowork_trigger, both of which are set by the server when it starts a scheduled run.
Nothing in the shipped app parses <routine_summary>; the tags are read by the server that turns the run into a notification.
Evidence
the notification is how the run reaches its owner
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
