Top r/ClaudeCode updates in the last 24h: official clarification on thinking/effort behavior, new review/security workflow tooling, and practical integrations for Claude Code operators.

Models

• Anthropic/Claude Code team clarification on reasoning behavior (no hidden model downgrade claim confirmed): Boris Cherny explained that redact-thinking-2026-02-12 is a UI-only change (hides thinking in UI/transcripts), while Opus 4.6 moved to adaptive thinking defaults and later set medium effort (85) by default for efficiency/latency. He also noted /effort high and /effort max remain available.
