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.

Credentials threaded alongside the storage handle

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Auth

Credentials now travel with the storage handle through most call paths, groundwork for per-session logins.

What

A credentials value now travels with the existing storage handle through app config, tool-use contexts, artifact and skill call sites, OAuth and gateway login, session title generation and trusted-device enrollment. Several auth reads became asynchronous as a result.

Details
  • The design OAuth token read now goes through a store read and logs "Failed to read design OAuth tokens" when it fails.
Evidence

credentials: r.credentials,

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