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.

Claude Code v2.1.242

Console profile sign-in validates the token before saving it

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Auth

The profile sign-in checks a token before saving it and names each failure separately.

What

The same new Console profile flow checks the result of a sign-in before storing anything, and explains each failure separately rather than failing generically.

Details
  • Rejects a sign-in with no inference access ("The organization didn't grant inference access to this sign-in, so Claude Code can't use it."), with no refresh token, or with a non-finite expiry.
  • Replacing an existing claude.ai login clears that record.
  • A credential file that is a symlink is refused with its own explanation.
Evidence

The organization didn't grant inference access to this sign-in, so Claude Code can't use it.

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