When that binding fails, the error messages shown now cover more specific cases: the target device being unsupported, the target device requiring an account, and an invalid target device ID. The existing message for a revoked device (one removed from the account on claude.ai) now gives concrete steps to fix it: run `claude --cloud` without `-p` from a project folder and choose \"Yes\" when asked, instead of just saying the machine can't re-register.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis turns a dead-end error into an actionable one, so someone whose device was removed from their account knows the exact command to re-register it instead of being stuck.\n\n- Area: Auth\n- Names: `claude --cloud`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
