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.

Claude Code v2.1.242

Counters moved from process globals to per-host state

Under the hood
Useful3 Signal3
Session State

Cost totals, timestamps and one-shot hints are scoped per host, so separate sessions no longer share them.

What

Cost totals (input tokens, lines removed, cache-creation tokens, web-search requests), the last API completion timestamp, the package-manager version cache and the one-shot "fast icon hint shown" flag are no longer shared across the whole process; each is now scoped to a host, so separate sessions no longer share them.

Evidence

fastIconHintShown

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

Related

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.
