The artifacts/files tool's publish action now accepts a pin boolean parameter; when true, publishing also pins the artifact to the user's claude.ai sidebar, where it shows up the next time the sidebar loads. On success the tool reply includes a note that it was pinned to the sidebar; if pinning fails, the publish itself still succeeds and the reply appends a note that the pin didn't go through. This is wired into the publish tool's response builder at two call sites, gated by the tool's Zod schema still exposing a pin literal in its action shape.

Whether the field is even offered to the model is controlled by a check ($Ot()) that returns false outright for remote/cloud sessions (unless Jd()), otherwise reads the CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_PIN env var or falls back to a gate.
