Unclear The finding does not say what WebFetchHistory holds or when the cache-clear routine runs.
What
Claude Code keeps some stored data during a session, called caches, so it does not have to repeat work. The routine that clears these caches now also clears one called WebFetchHistory, in addition to WebFetchCache and ToolSearchDescriptionCache which it already cleared.
Why
When the caches are cleared, web fetch history no longer carries over while the other caches are reset.
