What

Decodes a session access token and prints its claims, reading it from an argument, from $CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ACCESS_TOKEN, or from stdin up to 16 KiB. Signature verification against the published key set and the expiry/not-before check with 60 seconds of clock skew are both on by default.

Details
  • --no-verify skips the signature check, --no-check-expiry skips the time check, --header prints the token header instead of the claims.
  • --verify still parses but does nothing, kept so older wrapper scripts do not break.
  • Only ES256 and RS256 signatures are accepted.
Usage
claude self-hosted-runner decode-token --header
Evidence

decode-token: signature verification FAILED

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