Checksums

Changes since last release

Upstream (v1.12603.0)

• Version bump: v1.11847.5 -> v1.12603.0 (~760 builds). Full re-minify - every minified identifier shifted - but zero structural changes hit our patch targets: all 50 patches applied without modification (their [\w$]+ wildcards absorbed the renames). Package built as claude-desktop-bin-1.12603.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst; node --check passed on the patched JS (38 [claude-cu] markers present).
• Bundle grew 13.6 -> 15.0 MB (+11%): the entire growth is a second vendored copy of @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk (0.3.167 embedded alongside 0.3.170), bringing a ~290-entry CLAUDE_CODE_*/DISABLE_* env-flag registry module. Patch-maintenance hazard: any future patch matching SDK-internal code now has TWO match sites - "exactly 1 match" assertions against SDK code will fail or silently patch only one copy (note added to update-prompt.md).
• Microsoft 365 MCP server now ships: resources/office365-mcp/ (office365-mcp.mjs 6.5 MB + pdfExtractorProcess.mjs + pdf.worker.mjs) is new inside app.asar - the loader existed in v1.11847.5 but the bundle was missing ("not included in this build"). Graph-based Outlook/OneDrive/SharePoint/Teams tools, MSAL auth with encrypted msal-cache.enc via safeStorage, GovCloud environments, write scopes withheld on public builds (MCP_GRANTED_DELEGATED_SCOPES). No platform gate - works on Linux; resolved via app.getAppPath(), preserved by our repackaging (verified present in the built asar). Worth a runtime smoke test (safeStorage without a keyring).
• New upstream features: artifactsPane feature (new GrowthBook flag 2115990222, no platform gate - new claudePagePreview.js preload embedding claude.ai pages in the preview pane); device_request_folder_access remote-device tool with "Always allow this folder on this device" prompts (flag 2745857735); oauthScope passthrough into CLI session env (flag 884132720); VM optional mounts (value flag 3932491586, force-OFF upstream). Two new IPC handlers: ClaudeCode.getPeriodUsage (CLI usage probe) and Launch.exportPreview. Removed: cowork git-init no longer creates an empty initial commit.

Audits (re-validated against the new bundle)

• Feature flags: registry now 37 static + louderPenguin async-only = 38 (added artifactsPane, removed none). artifactsPane is now the FIRST registry key - future nativeQuickEntry-anchored searches must re-anchor. builtinMcpPresets lost its dev-gate wrapper (now unconditionally supported - upstreamed to all platforms incl. Linux). 4 GrowthBook flags added, 0 removed; new LC(id,default) value-with-default reader. Renames: registry Rw()->sD(), merger PBA->fSA, prod gate OS()->vR(), flag reader lt()->dt(). enable_local_agent_mode.nim needs no changes - none of the new flags is darwin/win32-gated.
• Built-in MCP servers: internal roster unchanged; registration fn KqA()->iAe(), registry CT->YL, labels TUA->jVA, enumerator J3()->s9(); server-UUID map byte-identical. New doc section for the bundled Microsoft 365 server.
• Platform gates: darwin 73->79 / win32 122->141 / linux 5->9 - the entire swing is the duplicated vendored CLI/SDK helper code (which/cross-spawn/isexe/WSL-detect/signal-list duplicates), verified via stable-string counts. Zero new Electron-side platform gates. No new PORTABLE (Linux-compat) opportunity.
• ion-dist SPA: modest growth (93->94 MB, 715->730 JS, 23->25 CSS); config chunk c71860c77-BBQ3iytl.js->c71860c77-C2vlLTGm.js; both fix_ion_dist_linux.nim sub-patterns still match (mountPath still mac/win-only); ternary vars V/E/xt. New Vertex config key inferenceVertexOAuthLoginHint. NFC path normalization now darwin-gated upstream (was unconditional - Linux-friendly, no patch impact).
• claude-cowork-service cross-check: wire protocol unchanged except Desktop's spawn now optionally reads a failedMounts array from the response (absent-tolerant - the Go daemon keeps working as-is). Optional follow-ups for that repo: implement failedMounts (mount-failure telemetry/UI demotion) and document the pre-existing pruneSessionCaches RPC (VMDiskJanitor calls it in both versions; unknown-method null-passthrough covers it).

Docs updated

• baseline/CLAUDE_FEATURE_FLAGS.md, baseline/CLAUDE_BUILT_IN_MCP.md, baseline/ION.md, baseline/PLATFORM_GATE_BASELINE.md - all refreshed to v1.12603.0. update-prompt.md - added duplicated-SDK match-site warning. README patch table unchanged (no patch changes).
