What

The --tools flag lets you limit which built-in tools Claude can use, such as "Bash,Edit,Read". The code that reads this flag and warns you when an entry matches no built-in tool has been reorganized. The warning messages read the same as before.

Why

This is most likely a tidy-up with no visible effect. If you pass --tools, you should see the same behaviour and the same warnings.
