The instructions Claude Code gives the model for it have been restructured. Long sections on recording GIFs, reading console logs, handling alerts, avoiding rabbit holes and tab context are no longer in the same place. A new step can rewrite this text, but only when a setting controlled by the server is switched on.\n\nThe hint for tool search, which loads tools only when needed, now also lists a `browser_batch` tool.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis may change the browser guidance the model works from.\n\n- Flag `tengu_tranquil_starlight`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.305; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Chrome & Browser\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
