Claude Code v2.1.236

Self-hosted runner releases a session only after its work finishes

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal2
Self-Hosted Runner

Self-hosted runners wait for a session's pending work before releasing it.

What

Releasing a session on a self-hosted runner now waits for that session's pending task instead of firing immediately, and cancels the idle timer at the same time. Sessions marked awaiting-action are unaffected.

Details
  • Outcomes are now reported separately as released_true_mid_work, released_false and rpc_failed rather than one result.
  • New log lines explain that a session which reports released=false respawns on the next poll, or is requeued if the runner is draining or retiring.
