A new internal check confirms a tip is relevant before showing it, and logs failures instead of crashing

What

Claude Code has an internal helper that checks whether a 'tip' (a suggestion shown to the user) is actually relevant before displaying it. This involves checking that the tip has an advertisedCommand and passes a relevance check, then calling the tip's own isRelevant logic.

If any of that checking throws an error, the failure no longer crashes anything. Instead, the tip's id is recorded into a failedTipIds list and the error is logged.

Why

This makes tip suggestions more resilient: a broken or misbehaving tip can no longer break the session, it just gets quietly skipped and noted for diagnosis.
