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 v2.1.246

Project onboarding checklist gone

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Terminal UI

New projects no longer show the startup checklist suggesting you clone a repo or run /init.

/init
What

The startup checklist that suggested creating an app, cloning a repository or running /init to make a CLAUDE.md has been removed, along with its completion check and the counter that stopped showing it after four sessions. New projects no longer get that prompt.

Details
  • The session state object drops projectOnboarding, plus pushReachability, compactWarningSuppressed, sessionStripShownChanged and several MCP event fields, and gains autoDenyPresence, clawdEntranceTaken and startupUpdateSummary.
Evidence

Run /init to create a CLAUDE.md file with instructions for Claude

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