DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Improved Marketplace Cache Recovery

What

Marketplace caching now handles stale directories more gracefully.

Changes:

  • Renamed "Updating existing marketplace cache…" to "Refreshing marketplace cache…"
  • Added detection for stale directories with automatic cleanup and re-clone
  • Better error messages when git pull fails
  • Clearer status messages during cache operations
Evidence

Marketplace refresh (search for "Refreshing marketplace cache…")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
