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.

Stale client-data refetch timing moved to config

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal2
Startup

How long startup data stays fresh before refetching now comes from config, not fixed code.

What

How long Claude Code waits before refetching stale startup data, and the jitter around it, now come from configuration rather than fixed values in the code, and both are reported in telemetry.

Evidence

tengu_client_data_stale_refetch

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