Two new telemetry categories track elevated cloud session creation and kept compaction announcements

What

The list of recognized telemetry event categories gained two new entries:

  • cloud_elevated_create, tracked when an elevated cloud session is created
  • compact_kept_tail_announcements, related to announcements kept at the tail end of a conversation compaction (the process that shortens a long conversation history)
Why

This lets Claude Code's telemetry track these specific events separately rather than lumping them into an unrelated or generic category.
