Saturday, July 5. The trailing edge of Independence Day weekend.

Nothing shipped in the past 24 hours from Anthropic's news desk, release-notes feeds, or SDK repositories. The July 4 federal holiday fell squarely inside the window, and the Saturday either side of it was quiet.

The 72 hours before the window were heavy: Claude Sonnet 5 landed June 30, Fable 5 returned globally July 1, and Claude Code ran four point releases between June 30 and July 3 (v2.1.197 to v2.1.201), capping with Manual as the new default permission mode and AskUserQuestion dialogs that no longer auto-continue. Then the weekend settled in.

The next cycle starts Monday.
