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.

Startup "What's new" and "Tips for getting started" panels are gone

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Startup

The launch "What's new" and getting-started tip panels no longer appear at startup.

What

The boxed panels shown at launch, the What's new list with its "/release-notes for more" footer and the getting-started tips, no longer exist in this build, along with the shared panel layout helpers and a scrollable box component used nearby.

Details
  • No replacement rendering those strings is present. The only surviving mention of "What's new" is in the managed-settings documentation for the DisableFeatureDiscoveryHint setting.
Evidence

Tips for getting started

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