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.

SDK control messages documented

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal2
SDK

Two SDK control messages got internal docs, including asking the host for a fresh token after a 401.

What

Two messages exchanged between the CLI and an SDK host gained internal documentation: one relays JSON-RPC to an MCP server the SDK hosts, the other asks the host for a fresh OAuth access token after a 401 when the CLI has no refresh token of its own. Behaviour is unchanged.

Evidence

@internal Request from the CLI subprocess to the SDK host for a fresh OAuth access token after a 401 with no local refresh token.

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