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

Goal check-ins now quote the goal

Use it now
Useful3 Signal3
Autonomous Mode Notable

Goal check-ins quote your goal, and you can change how often they run with an environment variable.

Feature flag
tengu_saffron_wren Off by default, switched on for this account

The shipped code defaults this off, and the flag server returned on for the one account this site reads on this version. That is the reading that makes the entry above worth a second look, and it still says nothing about your account.

This account: on · anonymous baseline: on · compiled default in v2.1.242: off

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.242. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

CLAUDE_CODE_GOAL_CHECKIN_MINUTES
What

Periodic goal check-in reminders now open with the goal itself in quotation marks, so it is clear which goal is being checked. Check-ins run unless a server flag turns them off, and the interval can be overridden with CLAUDE_CODE_GOAL_CHECKIN_MINUTES.

Details
  • The remote flag tengu_saffron_wren controls the feature and falls back to on when the server says nothing.
Evidence

Goal check-in: \xAB

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