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.

Faster cloud session creation when the first message is sent after attach

Cloud Sessions

Creating a cloud session is quicker because it no longer waits on the file-seeding plan.

What

When creating a cloud session, the decision to hold back your first message and send it after attaching no longer waits on the file-seeding plan to finish computing. It now uses values already computed at that point, removing a wait from the session-create path.

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