What
- The login/onboarding component now accepts a new
onFreshPickerChangecallback, which it calls whenever its state settles back to idle without the user having progressed through login or setup, telling a parent component that the account picker hasn't been touched yet. - The login dialog's escape-key hint text now conditionally reads 'cancel' or 'exit' depending on whether a fresh account picker is currently showing, using a debounced confirmation instead of always showing a flat 'Press Esc again to exit' message.
Why
This makes the double-escape behavior on the login screen clearer, showing the right hint ('cancel' vs 'exit') for the situation instead of a generic exit prompt regardless of context.

Added since
A small documentation edit on Claude Code GitHub Actions touched a line naming Esc after this was published.
To stop setup partway through, press Esc. A step already in progress finishes, and no later step starts. The closing message lists what already happened in the repository, such as a pushed branch or a saved secret.github-actions see the edit
