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.

Your token reminder budget override is now honoured instead of silently ignored.

What

CLAUDE_CODE_TOTAL_TOKENS_REMINDER_BUDGET, which sets the token count at which Claude Code reminds itself about context usage, was being read through a stale variable on its final branch, so a value you set could be ignored. It is now checked correctly and falls back to the built-in default when unset or not positive.

Evidence

CLAUDE_CODE_TOTAL_TOKENS_REMINDER_BUDGET

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