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-file cleanup can now skip files in use

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal1
Elsewhere

Cleanup of old files can now keep ones still in use instead of deleting them.

What

The helper that deletes files older than a cutoff accepts an optional check, given each file's path and stats, that keeps the file instead of deleting it. Retained files are counted separately from deleted ones.

Details
  • Supplied by whichever code runs the sweep; there is no setting or flag for it.
