What
When Claude Code releases its internal lock on refreshing an OAuth authentication token, it emits telemetry events for 'releasing' and, on error, 'release_error'. Both of these telemetry calls are now individually wrapped in their own error handling, so a failure in sending the telemetry itself can no longer prevent the lock from actually being released or the error from being logged.
Why
This is a reliability fix: previously, a telemetry hiccup during token refresh could interfere with releasing the lock or recording the error, which could affect authentication flows. Now the telemetry is best-effort and can't get in the way.
