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.

Cloud init frames carry worker generation and boot timings

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal2
Cloud Sessions

Cloud startup messages now carry worker generation and boot timing bookkeeping.

What

Cloud session startup messages now pass along a worker generation number when one is present, plus timestamps for when the worker was last seen up and when its boot was counted, and the session mode from bootstrap. Bookkeeping only, with no visible effect.

Evidence

workerEpoch

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