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.

Claude Code v2.1.6 13 Jan 2026

Version Information Display

The /version command now shows both stable and latest versions from npm dist-tags and GCS.

Details

Fetches version info from npm with --prefer-online flag
Falls back to GCS storage for version information
Displays "Stable version" and "Latest version" separately

Evidence

zD7() at line 495798 (version display, contains "Stable version", "Latest version")

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