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.

Claude Code v2.1.247

Prompts now carry a sandbox description alongside date and agent-list updates

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Sandbox

Each turn now tells Claude which sandbox it is running in, re-sent only when it changes.

What

A new piece of per-turn context, computed from the active tool set, tells the model what sandbox it is running in. It is added on both the queued-prompt path and the per-turn attachment list, and is compared against the previous one so it is only re-sent when it changes.

Details
  • It sits alongside the existing date-change and agent-listing-delta context items, and is handled the same way as the agent listing when diffing.
  • Nothing in the code shown gates the attachment itself.

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