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.

gzip request-body opt-out persists through the storage layer

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal1
Internals not in their notes

The stop-compressing-requests switch is now saved through the storage layer.

CLAUDE_CODE_GZIP_REQUEST_BODIES
What

The switch that stops compressing request bodies after a server rejects one now writes through the storage handle. The stored record and its timestamp and status are unchanged, and setting CLAUDE_CODE_GZIP_REQUEST_BODIES still bypasses persistence entirely.

Evidence

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