System prompt parts are now labelled; detached sessions skip some setup

Claude Code labels and groups each part of its system prompt, and a new detached mode skips a setup step; the prompt text is the same

What

The system prompt is the hidden instructions Claude Code gives the model. It used to be a plain list of parts. Each part now passes through a step that labels and groups it, with group names such as bare, shared, session and memory_static. The text of the prompt itself did not change.

There is also a new detached option for sessions. When it is set, Claude Code skips a setup step and handles memory in an analysis-only way.

Why

This prepares for tracking each part of the system prompt separately and for sessions that run detached. Nothing Claude reads changes.

tengu_slate_bittern Not enough to say

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.
