Cross-Session MessagingArea: what it touches
In DevelopmentKind: in v2.1.228,
In DevelopmentSection of the release
What
When the cross-session messaging gate is off at startup and configuration has not settled, Claude Code now installs a watcher that binds the socket later if a config refresh enables it, then publishes the socket path to the session record. Previously the inbox was skipped for the life of the process.
Details
The late path is distinguished in telemetry by a bind_late marker.
The gate name does not appear in readable form in the build, so which remote flag flips it is not visible from here.
Evidence
[uds-messaging] Late bind: gate enabled by a GrowthBook refresh after startup
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
