It shows the label \"organization verification required\" and carries the error code `cleared_verification_required`, with matching handling added to the logic that classifies why an operation was blocked, the code that handles API errors, and the screen shown when a session is blocked.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf your organization needs to complete some verification step, Claude Code can now show a specific, accurate message for that situation instead of a generic or mismatched error.\n\n- Area: Usage & Limits\n- Names: `verification_required`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
