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.

Background daemon start failures are classified, and a sleeping machine gets one retry

Background Daemon

Background daemon start failures now name a cause, and a sleeping machine gets one retry.

What

When the background daemon fails to start, the failure now carries a cause: wrapper, ask, spawn, timeout, exited, or the operating system's spawn error code. A child that died is reported separately from one that simply never answered. If the wall clock jumped during a cold start, typically because the machine slept, and the daemon is still unreachable, the whole start is retried once.

Details
  • Telemetry gains child_exited, exit_code, exit_signal, budget_extended and clock_jump_retry.
Evidence

retrying the whole start once

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