What
Onboarding is the set of steps Claude Code walks you through when you first start it. One of those steps sets up your terminal. In Apple's built-in Terminal app, that step now appears only when one of these still needs configuring:
Option+Enter for newlines, so you can type multi-line messages
The audible bell, the sound the terminal makes to get your attention
Other terminal apps keep the same rule as before for when the step appears.
Why
If your Apple Terminal is already set up, you no longer get asked to go through a step that would change nothing.
