Source Intelligence

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.

Reused session ID exits with an identifiable error code

SDK not in their notes

Reusing a session ID now exits with a machine-readable session_in_use code for SDK callers.

session_in_use
What

Starting with a session ID that is already in use now exits with the machine-readable code session_in_use alongside the message, so SDK and wrapper callers can tell this apart from other startup failures. The message you see is unchanged.

Evidence

session_in_use

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