8585| `host-creds-<random-id>.json` | The resolved inference credential (bearer token or API key, plus the endpoint), as environment values for background Claude Code worker processes. Written atomically with owner-only permissions (mode `0600` on macOS; per-user ACLs on Windows). | Rewritten on each credential refresh; deleted when the app quits; leftovers from a crash are removed at the next launch. The random path segment is regenerated when you sign out of the inference provider or its credentials are rotated, so a process holding the old path loses access. |
8686| `ccd-session-secrets/<session-id>/` | File-based credentials for Code sessions: Google Cloud application default credentials for Google Cloud's Agent Platform, or AWS configuration files for Amazon Bedrock. The directory is created with owner-only permissions (mode `0700` on macOS; per-user ACLs on Windows). | Created when the session starts; removed when the session ends; the whole directory is swept before the next Code session starts and when you sign out of the inference provider. |
87| Per-session working directory | For Cowork sessions, the same file-based credentials (Google Cloud's Agent Platform and Amazon Bedrock) are written into the session's working directory, which is mounted into the sandbox VM. | Scoped to the session; removed with the session directory. |
