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.

Theme Detection: "Auto (match terminal)" Replaces "Auto (follow system)"

The automatic theme setting now reads the COLORFGBG environment variable (set by many terminals) to detect whether the terminal uses a light or dark background, rather than querying macOS system settings. The label changed from "Auto (follow system)" to "Auto (match terminal)" to reflect this behavior.

Evidence

Theme detection (search for "Auto (match terminal)", "COLORFGBG")

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