What
Claude Code can show an announcement when it starts. It used to pick only from the announcements built into the app, choosing the most important one.
It now checks first for an announcement sent by Anthropic's server. If there is one, that is shown ahead of the built-in announcements, only once, with a coloured bar beside it.
Why
Anthropic can send a one-time notice that you see the next time Claude Code starts.
