DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. 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.

Bridge workers report why they had no login token

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal2
Remote Bridge

When a background bridge worker can't get your login token, it now records exactly why.

What

When a bridge worker knows which account it is for but cannot get a token, it now classifies the reason and reports it, distinguishing signed out, a dead refresh token, an unreadable credential store, an identity present with no usable token, and timeout or error cases.

Details
  • Reported as tengu_bridge_token_absence_classified; a dead refresh token is a stored value that is the empty string.
  • Only fires when the token came from the credential store and an account identifier is cached.
  • The expired-login prompt now keys off the same dead-refresh-token probe instead of its previous check.
