What probably matters to you Section of the release
CLAUDE_CODE_SLACK_TAG_TOKEN and a slack-tag status segment exist, but nothing enables the connection.
What
A CLAUDE_CODE_SLACK_TAG_TOKEN environment variable now counts as third-party authentication and is stripped from environments given to spawned commands. The status line gained a slack-tag segment, which suppresses the separator dot the way the bridge and pr segments do, and the available tool set is recomputed whenever the Slack tag connection flag changes.
Details
The status segment only renders when the session is marked connected, which nothing in this build does.
