Unclear The finding does not say what earlyRemoteLink or headlessCloudPrint do for someone using Claude Code.
What
When Claude Code starts, it builds an internal record of the session it is about to run and passes that record on to the rest of the program. That record now carries four more values:
The --thinking-display value is also now worked out even when thinking is disabled, where before it was skipped in that case. A check on dynamic MCP configuration (MCP servers are outside programs that give Claude extra tools) now also accepts one more condition, but that condition is fixed to false in this build, so it never applies.
Why
In practice, a --thinking-display value you pass is no longer dropped just because thinking is off at startup. The other new values are now available to later parts of the program instead of being lost after startup.
How sure we are
