What

Claude Code builds a short prefix that goes in front of some title text, such as a status line or a terminal tab title. Before, that prefix began with a ✦ symbol. It is now just the text followed by " · ", with no symbol in front.

Why

The change is only to how the prefix looks. If you watch for the ✦ symbol in a title, or match on it in a script, it is no longer there.
