You'll notice
API errors can now be classified specifically as 'verification_required'
What
Claude Code's classification of errors coming back from the Anthropic API now includes a distinct verification_required category. It is checked before the existing repeated_529 check, and sits alongside other existing categories like rate_limit, capacity_off_switch, and prompt_too_long.
Why
Giving this kind of error its own category lets Claude Code (and its error handling and messaging) respond to a verification requirement differently than to rate limits or capacity issues, rather than lumping it in with other error types.
