What
When Claude Code fetches the signature file used to verify an update package, a network failure during that request used to always be treated as a generic connection or timeout error. Now, if the elapsed time suggests the process was suspended mid-request (for example, a laptop going to sleep) rather than the network actually failing, it's reported as a distinct sidecar_fetch_interrupted case.
Why
This new case is treated leniently and simply retried on the next check, rather than being escalated as a real error, so a laptop sleeping mid-update-check no longer looks like a failed update.
