claude auth status now shows a Cloud-gateway-specific sign-in hint instead of the generic one

What

When Claude Code is running through a Cloud gateway and you're not logged in, claude auth status (and its JSON output) now tells you to start claude and sign in with /login, instead of showing the generic "run claude auth login" message. The reported authentication method for these sessions also now shows as none rather than third_party.

Why

The old generic instructions didn't apply to sessions running through a Cloud gateway, so this makes the sign-in guidance actually match how you're running Claude Code.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Added since A small documentation edit on Claude Code on Claude Platform on AWS touched a line naming /login after this was published. The `/login` and `/logout` commands don't sign you into a claude.ai subscription for Claude Platform on AWS. Authentication runs through your AWS credentials or workspace API key. claude-platform-on-aws see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up /login, on Extend Claude with skills. In [non-interactive sessions](/docs/en/headless), the names `help` and `feedback` aren't reserved for their terminal-only built-in commands, so a plugin skill with one of those names keeps its bare command there. Every other terminal-only … skills see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up claude auth status, on Claude Code changelog. * Added `configDirectory` to the output of `claude auth status --json` changelog see the edit
