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

Subagent transcripts are fetched on demand and measured

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Sessions

Subagent transcripts can be fetched only when needed, with resume reporting how much was read.

What

The session writer now tracks which subagent transcripts to skip fetching and counts the fetches it does make, and resume telemetry reports how much subagent history was read and which hydration mode was used. Whether the deferred path runs is decided by session state rather than a flag in this code.

Details
  • New internals: internalAgentEventReader, subagentLazyHydrate, agentIdsNotToFetch, agentTranscriptFetches.
  • Telemetry gained subagent_read and a subagent_hydrate mode; the old boolean is now derived from that mode being skipped_delta.
Evidence

subagentLazyHydrate

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