Source Intelligence

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.

Rendering: Frame Contamination Tracking

Terminal rendering now tracks whether the previous frame was "contaminated" (had selection overlays or image clears), preventing unnecessary full-screen redraws and reducing flickering in alt-screen mode.

Evidence

New prevFrameContaminated property (search for "prevFrameContaminated")

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