When the model changes, Claude Code now refreshes the data it loaded at startup. Behind a remotely controlled setting, it also saves a copy of client data that has already been shown. That setting falls back to on when the server sends nothing.\n\n**Why**\n\nSwitching models may behave slightly differently than before.\n\n- Flag `tengu_moonlit_lobster`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.285; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: on) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Models\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
