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.

Self-hosted runner rejects malformed work-poll responses

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal2
Self-Hosted Runner

The self-hosted runner validates work-poll responses and blames an intercepting proxy when they're malformed.

What

The self-hosted runner now checks the shape of each work-poll response before using it, and the errors name an intercepting proxy as the likely cause rather than failing obscurely later.

Details
  • Non-object bodies, non-array assignment lists and malformed session ids each throw.
  • A lease expiry is accepted only if it is a string, and session assignments only if they are an array.
  • Unconditional on the self-hosted runner path.
Evidence

PollWork: response body is not a JSON object (an intercepting proxy may have answered)

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