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 v2.1.247

Claude Desktop sessions announce the branch's open PR on start

Pull Requests

Starting a new Claude Desktop session announces the branch's open pull request once; resumed sessions stay quiet.

What

Pull request announcements gained a "started" verb, sent once when a new Claude Desktop session first initializes, for the open change on the branch the working directory was on. Resumed sessions do not send it.

Details
  • Joins the existing verbs such as "checked-out", which is sent for a gh pr checkout.
  • Fires at first initialize only, so reattaching to an existing session produces no announcement.
Evidence

'checked-out' for gh pr checkout, or 'started' for the open change on the branch the session's working directory was on when a Claude Desktop session began

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