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.

Cross-session messaging no longer publishes a socket while shutting down

Elsewhere

Cross-session messaging turned on late during shutdown no longer publishes a dead socket.

What

If cross-session messaging turns on after startup via a feature-flag refresh, the late setup now checks for shutdown first and tears itself down instead of publishing a socket path that nothing will serve.

Details
  • The attempt is reported as shutdown_discarded rather than as a successful late bind.
  • Still behind the same feature flag that enables late binding at all.
Evidence

torn down, not published

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