What
This release adds data flow reporting, a new kind of record Claude Code can keep in a session. The members did not trace what the records contain or where they are sent.
- Gate: it works only when the switch
tengu_pewter_grebeis true and the organization policy allowsallow_data_flow. The switch falls back to false when the server sends no value. Nothing has been read about it. - Policy:
allow_data_flowis a new organization policy entry labelled "Data flow reporting", with requirement ID HIPAA-R150. It is denied underhipaaandzdr(zero data retention), and if the policy is not cached or the check fails open, it also resolves todeny. - Transcript: the session file gains
data-flow-records,data-flow-incompleteandderived-fromentries. The first two add up over the session and the last one keeps only the latest value. For agents they are written at exit, a helper decides whether they are written, and the session file reader understands the "snapshots" kind. - Session state: the saved state now carries
dataFlowRecords,dataFlowOwed,dataFlowIncompleteanddataFlowDerivedFrom. - Forks: forking a conversation copies the data-flow records, the incomplete flag and the derived-from lineage into the new session.
- Tombstone removal: removing deleted entries from a session file now refuses to edit a file that ends before its reported size.
Why
Session files can now hold a new record type that follows a conversation into its forks. Organizations under HIPAA or zero data retention are denied it by policy, and nothing turns it on unless the server sends a value for its switch.
