Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

The SDK and IDE bridge stops accepting work once the session is shutting down

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal2
Elsewhere

While a session shuts down the bridge refuses new work except a few read-only requests.

What

While a session is tearing down, the bridge now rejects most incoming requests immediately with the error "This session is shutting down." instead of racing the shutdown. A small read-only set still goes through: initialize, file_suggestions, read_file, get_context_usage, get_usage and mcp_status.

Details
  • Rejected requests get a control response of subtype error and a "[bridge] refusing" log line naming the request type.
  • Unconditional; it fires whenever the shutdown latch is set.
Evidence

This session is shutting down.

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