What
A transcript is the file where Claude Code saves a conversation. When you branch a session, which starts a new conversation from an existing one, Claude Code now opens the transcript with a file handle that is closed automatically when done. A routine that filters conversation history does the same. Before, both read the file as a stream.
Why
No visible difference is described. The change is in how the transcript file is opened and closed.
