What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

The --client-data-url <url> flag is no longer listed when you run claude --help. A flag is an option you type after the command. It still works. Claude Code still exits if it cannot load the signed configuration document or if the document does not cover the selected model. The CLAUDE_CODE_CLIENT_DATA_URL environment variable still keeps the URL out of the process list.

Why

If you already use the flag, nothing changes. You just will not find it by browsing the help text.
