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.

Fast mode failures explain why

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Models

When fast mode can't toggle, the message says whether it timed out, was refused, or the model changed.

What

When fast mode cannot be turned on or off, the message now says which of the three causes applied: a timeout, an explicit refusal, or the model changing while hooks that run before a model switch were still executing.

Evidence

Fast mode was not ${o}: the model changed while PreModelSwitch hooks ran; try again

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