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.

Messaging startup warning now names the real cause

Session Messaging

Cross-session messaging startup warnings now name the actual cause instead of always blaming sockets.

What

When cross-session messaging fails to start, the warning used to always blame the socket directory setup. It now reports the specific cause: a refused socket path, a bind failure, a failure to publish this session's peer key, or a problem after binding. The old text remains as the fallback when the cause is unknown.

Details
  • A companion helper records the degraded cause and declines to overwrite an existing one when the key publish failed after the primary directory was already refused.
Evidence

its peer key could not be published

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