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.

Away-summary recaps rebuilt around a focus subscription

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal2
Session Lifecycle not in their notes

The away recap was rewritten around focus events; same setting, same roughly three-minute delay.

awaySummaryEnabled
What

The recap shown when you come back to a session was rewritten as a standalone object driven by focus events instead of React effects. Behaviour is unchanged: still keyed off the awaySummaryEnabled setting, still delayed by a remote-config value whose built-in fallback is 180000 ms.

Details
  • Still skips the recap when the cache is stale, a draft is sitting in the input, background work is pending, or a structured-output recap already exists.
  • The delay is clamped to a minimum floor, and the return-to-session telemetry fields are unchanged.

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