#1 GOLDUpdateReddit r/ClaudeCode (quoting Hacker News)
Boris Cherny explains some recent changes to Claude Code
- Boris Cherny (Claude Code team lead) clarified why Claude Code "thinking" seems to have dropped: the `redact-thinking-2026-02-12` header hides thinking from the UI but doesn't reduce it — Claude still thinks just as hard, you just don't see the transcript
- The actual thinking depth change happened Feb 9 when Opus 4.6 launched: it switched from a fixed thinking budget to *adaptive* thinking, where Claude decides how long to think. Turn this off with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ADAPTIVE_THINKING` env var if you want the old behavior
- On March 3 they also changed the default effort from 100 to 85 (the sweet spot they found for speed vs. intelligence). To get full effort back: type `/effort` in Claude Code or add `"effort": "high"` to settings.json — it sticks across sessions
- If you want thinking shown in the UI again: add `"showThinkingSummaries": true` to settings.json
- Key takeaway: post GitHub issues, not Reddit, if you want Anthropic to see bug reports
#2 SILVERReleaseReddit r/ClaudeAI
Claude Code v2.1.92 introduces Ultraplan — draft plans in the cloud, review in your browser, execute anywhere
- Claude Code v2.1.92 ships `/ultraplan` (beta): run it in your terminal, get a structured plan back as a shareable web page at claude.ai/code with inline commenting
- You can review and annotate the plan in the browser, then either execute it remotely in the cloud or send it back to your local CLI to run
- This is the first step toward cloud-first Claude Code workflows — the terminal stays the power-user entry point but planning and review can now happen anywhere

Claude Code can now submit your app to App Store Connect and help you pass review
- Blitz is an open-source macOS app (Apache 2.0) that adds MCP servers so Claude Code can control App Store Connect: metadata, screenshots, localization, build submission, TestFlight groups — all from the terminal
- Includes a built-in terminal with Claude Code so agents can build, test, and submit without leaving one window; runs fully locally, MCP server is localhost-only
- Repo: github.com/blitzdotdev/blitz-mac — there's a demo of an agent submitting an end-to-end App Store review
