Evidence maturity: official deployed-software release note; no independent performance evaluation is disclosed.
Teams using pinned Claude Code workflows should validate an upgrade, especially around operational reliability. This is a maintenance release rather than evidence of new model capability, so it should not drive capability, cost, or benchmark assumptions.
