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.

Token refresh and session state read from an explicit storage handle

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal3
Auth

Token refresh, logout, onboarding reset and plugin loading now take a storage handle rather than global state.

What

checkAndRefreshOAuthTokenIfNeeded now receives a v5 storage handle alongside credentials, and the same pair travels through hook execution, session-team registration, logout and onboarding reset, plugin loading and the file-history writers. Login state can therefore live in that store rather than in process-wide state.

Evidence

checkAndRefreshOAuthTokenIfNeeded

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