DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

OAuth Retry with Exponential Backoff in Remote Sessions

When a remote session receives a 401 response and OAuth token refresh fails, the client now retries the refresh up to oauth_retry_max_attempts times with exponential backoff. During each attempt, the status shows:

OAuth refresh failed — waiting for a fresh login (1/3)

If all attempts fail: OAuth token refresh failed — re-authenticate, then re-enable Remote Control.

Evidence

Retry message (search for "OAuth refresh failed — waiting for a fresh login (") and failure message (search for "OAuth token refresh failed — re-authenticate")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
