What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
When you start Claude Code interactively, it now begins a background step that discovers a preview browser. This does not happen in print mode (-p) or when Claude Code is driven by the SDK, the programming library for running Claude Code from code.
Why
This is new work done on every interactive launch, likely in support of previewing output in a browser.
