What probably matters to you Section of the release
The host auth refresh callback is only wired up when CLAUDE_CODE_SDK_HAS_HOST_AUTH_REFRESH is set, so it does nothing otherwise.
What
The SDK control request for a host auth token refresh now resolves the whole control response rather than pulling the token field out of it, leaving that to the callback. The refresh callback is only registered when CLAUDE_CODE_SDK_HAS_HOST_AUTH_REFRESH is set, so nothing happens here otherwise.
Evidence
host_auth_token_refresh
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
