What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Claude Code looks for short prefixes in the text you type. It used to check only whether the text started with a:, s: or o:. It now also accepts:
n:, except when a backslash comes straight after it- any of these prefixes after a space, not only at the very start
Why
Text you type may now be treated differently, since a prefix later in a line or an n: can now be picked up.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtWhat these prefixes do when Claude Code finds them is not known.
