Unclear What the newly appended line says and exactly when it is added is not known.

What

The Bash tool is how Claude runs terminal commands, and it comes with written instructions that Claude reads. Those instructions can now end with an extra line when a certain condition about the available tools holds. Before, they had no such conditional line.

Claude Code saves a copy of its prompt so it can be reused instead of sent again, called the prompt cache, and labels that copy with a key. The key now takes several more settings into account, so the saved copy is renewed when any of them changes.

The line telling Claude not to run ls or find stays behind a switch on Anthropic's servers that is off unless switched on remotely. The flag server returned off for this site's account and for an anonymous account, in a reading not yet taken under this release.

In the capture of the Bash tool's instructions taken under v2.1.323, the rule against committing files that likely contain secrets now also names .claude/settings.local.json.

Why

This changes the wording Claude sees for the Bash tool, which can affect how it chooses commands.

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.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.
