When Claude Code stores one, it can shorten the results of reading files after comparing their content. Several details of that step changed:\n\n- System reminders, which are notes Claude Code adds to the conversation for the model, are removed before the content is compared.\n\n- The shortening step can be told to skip that comparison.\n\n- The tools Claude used are now tracked in a list, and those entries are written only when a further condition holds.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese details affect how much of a file read is kept in a stored transcript.\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
