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.

Bootstrap cache refresh reports whether it succeeded

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal2
Startup

Refreshing cached bootstrap data can now skip clearing render caches, avoiding a redraw.

What

The routine that fetches and persists bootstrap data now returns a boolean and takes a keepRenderCaches option, defaulting to false, so a caller can update the on-disk caches without clearing render caches and forcing a re-render. It returns false when a concurrent credential change superseded the write.

Evidence

keepRenderCaches

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