[BUG] Claude Code fetches the release notes from GitHub on every invocation.

Environment

• Platform (select one):
• [X ] Anthropic API
• [ ] AWS Bedrock
• [ ] Google Vertex AI
• [ ] Other: <!-- specify -->
• Claude CLI version: 0.2.90 (Claude Code)
• Operating System macOS 14.3
• Terminal: Ghostty

Bug Description

Claude Code appears to fetch its release notes from GitHub on startup. I could be wrong, but it looks like it fetches them twice on startup for every interactive session, but only once in -p mode.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run Claude Code

Expected Behavior

Claude only fetches the release notes when I'm first running a new version in an interactive session or when I ask to report a bug or to see the release notes.

Actual Behavior

It appears to fetch the changelog on every invocation.

Additional Context

I hacked up the minified claude code script to add a console.trace method just after the '.get' of the changelog, just to be able to provide a better bug report. In interactive mode with 0.2.90:

In non-interactive mode (-p):
