Local socket messaging: sanitized logs and unused auth state

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal1
Cross-Session Messaging

Local socket logs now scrub addresses and unexpected message values before printing.

What

The local unix-socket channel between Claude Code processes now routes unhandled control actions and message types through the error logger with values passed through a sanitizer, and sanitizes the socket address it prints during namespace checks.

Details
  • The server object gained auth fields: authRequired, activeTokens, activeKeyFile, authOkReported, authDropReported, lastStartFailureCause and lastStartDegradedCause, all cleared on teardown.
  • authRequired comes from a requireAuth start option; nothing in this build passes it, so token auth on this channel is inert here.
Evidence

[uds-messaging] Unhandled control action:

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