Unclear The finding does not say what replaced the removed text-building logic beyond suspecting it moved into related new helpers, so the net effect on the final prompt text isn't confirmed.

What

An internal function used to build the mandatory browser-selection instructions was simplified. It previously constructed the full multi-paragraph instruction text itself; now it just returns a short phrase naming the tool to use (like 'the X tool') or a fallback mentioning the ask-user tool. The actual instruction text is now built elsewhere.

Why

This is an internal restructuring of how browser-selection prompts are assembled; it doesn't change what instructions Claude ultimately receives, just how the code produces them.
