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.

Native Module and WASM Removal

Multiple native and WASM dependencies have been removed in favor of pure JavaScript implementations:

  • color-diff.node native module removed — syntax highlighting diff now uses JS-based approach
  • resvg.wasm SVG rendering module removed entirely
  • index_bg.wasm removed
  • initWasm() initialization infrastructure removed
  • Monokai Extended theme added as a new syntax highlighting option
Evidence

WASM removal (search for "resvg" in v2.1.84 — absent from v2.1.85)

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