What
The shared metadata that Claude Code attaches to its background usage tracking (telemetry) requests now includes a desktopAppVersion field, alongside the existing agentSdkVersion field. It's only included when it has a value.
Why
This lets Claude Code's telemetry distinguish which version of the desktop app a request came from, which is useful for diagnosing issues that are specific to a particular desktop app release.
