What probably matters to you Section of the release
What
The "Select IDE" dialog in /ide uses a new list. The list starts with your current IDE selected and marks it with a success icon labelled "current:". An IDE is a code editor such as VS Code.
Why
This is a small change to /ide that makes it easier to see which IDE you are already connected to.

Anthropic's note
Upstream's own release notes for v2.1.283 name something this entry names, so the two are probably about the same change. Probably: the pairing is made on a shared name rather than on the words around it.
Improved lists in /help , /hooks , /copy , /chrome , /memory , /ide , /release-notes , /rewind , /diff , /remote-env, /plugin and other pickers with page keys, mouse wheel and clicks
