Checksums

Changes since last release

Upstream (v1.9659.1)

• Version bump: v1.9255.2 -> v1.9659.1 (~400 builds)
• All 47 patches applied cleanly - zero failures, no regex changes needed. The flexible [\w$]+ patterns absorbed every minified variable rename automatically. No new and no changed Linux patch required.
• 2 new feature flags (30 static, was 28; +louderPenguin async-only = 31 total):
  • surfaceTogglesPreview - dev-gated via PM() production gate, always unavailable in production
  • chatTab - 3p-bootstrap-gated (aze() = desktopBootFeatures.chatIn3p.status==="supported" && chatTabEnabled===true), only active in third-party whitelabel builds; does not replace the Code tab (louderPenguin) or Chat
• No feature flags removed. All 28 static features from v1.9255.2 are still present.
• Feature flags - function renames (webpack re-minify only): static registry Yp() (was Gp()), async merger slA (was mEA/pEA), GrowthBook bool reader Bt (was Ct), async helper x0A (was A0A), PM()-gate wrapper lm (was wD), supported constant Ww (was _M)
• No GrowthBook flag changes - 71 boolean flag IDs identical to v1.9255.2 (clean diff, verified against freshly extracted old bundle). One new numeric remote-config value 1629866860 (claude_code session limit, read via ad() - not a boolean toggle, not flag-relevant)
• enable_local_agent_mode.nim unchanged - the 12-flag override list stays correct (the 2 new features are dev-/3p-gated and don't block the Linux Cowork/Code/Agent-Mode paths we force-enable). Validated 25/25 sub-patches, all overridden flags still in the Zod .partial() schema, node --check OK
• 15 new IPC handlers (all platform-neutral, no Linux implementation needed): ClaudeAiImport_* (OAuth import of claude.ai data: startAuth/runImport/getAuthState/clearAuth/isAvailable/reopenAuthTab + onAuthStateChange/onAuthUserCode events), Custom3pSetup_* (signInWithAnthropicApi/applyAnthropicApiShortcut), ClaudeCode_setEnableWorkflows, CoworkArtifacts_setArtifactLastModifiedSession, Launch_loadFramePreview, LocalAgentModeSessions_grantRemoteSessionFolder, LocalSessions_getSessionMediaStreamUrl
• MCP: registration function renamed HHA() (was KPA()), mcp-registry const mlA (was OEA). Server roster and tool sets unchanged. New static yL server-UUID map that feeds server_uuid into the existing internal-tool telemetry. Three reserved/inactive labels in the map: ios_simulator and android_emulator (new, no server implementation yet - precursors for future MCP servers), plus echo
• ion-dist SPA: config chunk c71860c77-BOyfE2Py.js (was c71860c77-DFJHDHrp.js), 88 MB total (was 87 MB), file counts unchanged (682 JS, 21 CSS, 899 total). mountPath is still mac/win only (no linux key) - fix_ion_dist_linux.nim is still required; both sub-patterns matched ([PASS]). No new platform gates, plugin/config keys unchanged
• New OS detection (ZEA()): returns macos/windows/wsl/linux with proper /proc/version WSL sniffing; feeds Claude Code managed-settings path resolution (Linux/WSL falls through to /etc/claude-code via the default branch). Linux-clean, no patch needed (fix_enterprise_config_linux.nim already covers the consumer paths)
• macOS/Windows-only upstream features (Linux-irrelevant, no patch needed): tear-off halo overlay, Cowork VM virtualization (@ant/claude-swift entitlement, secureVmFeaturesEnabled), device simulator panel, native QuickEntry dictation. New win32-only gates are child-process kill (Linux takes the SIGTERM else-branch) and WSL settings inheritance
• No cowork protocol changes - control_request/control_response event-stream proxy unchanged, claude-cowork-service not affected
• Electron v41.6.1 and node-pty 1.1.0-beta34 - unchanged from v1.9255.2

No patch changes needed

All 47 Nim patches (44 on index.js, 1 on mainView.js, 1 on MainWindowPage-*.js, 1 ion-dist nim-dir) applied without modification, plus the claude-native.js replace patch. The flexible regex patterns ([\w$]+ for minified identifiers) absorbed all upstream variable renames automatically. JS syntax valid (node --check) on all targets.
