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.

Cloud Sessions not in their notes

Forwarding your home settings to a cloud session now records your consent separately from permission.

--forward-home-settings--cloud--environment
What

--forward-home-settings (used with --cloud or --environment) no longer just flips a boolean. Startup resolves a consent value and passes it through to session creation, so the fact that you consented is tracked separately from whether forwarding is allowed at all, and a settings-upload status feed now sits alongside the existing file-sync one.

Details
  • Consent is carried into the create call and reported in telemetry as home_settings_host_consent; the created session's permission mode is echoed back.
  • A new refusal reason covers sessions "launched from your home directory (or above it, or inside a checkout rooted there)", which cannot be bound.
  • The launch options dropped a settings-plan wait timeout in favour of the consent value, and the consent-surface check can now be short-circuited by the host's answer.
Evidence

home_settings_host_consent, homeSettingsConsent, replaceHomeSettingsHostConsent, launched from your home directory (or above it, or inside a checkout rooted there)

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