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.

Streaming deltas are discarded when no one is listening

You'll notice

Elsewhere

Streaming updates nobody is reading are dropped instead of queueing up.

What

Partial stream_event updates are now dropped at the point they are queued if the primary output sink is off and no listener is attached, so they no longer pile up in a queue nothing will drain.

Evidence

e.type === "stream_event" && !De() && this.enqueueListener === null

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