Unclear It is not stated when the artifact tool is replaced by a CCR entry, so which sessions this covers is unclear.

What

The scratchpad is a working folder Claude Code sets up for a session. It was enabled either by a server-controlled switch or when the artifact tool was available. It is now also enabled when the artifact tool is replaced by a CCR entry. In that case Claude Code starts the scratchpad once and creates its folder.

The server switch is off unless turned on remotely, and readings for this site's account and a signed-out baseline both came back off, though not yet under this release.

Why

The scratchpad can now be on in these sessions even when the server switch is off.

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.
