What
Claude Code has an internal "startup wedge watchdog" that detects when the app gets stuck during startup. This release adds a small wrapper function that calls the watchdog's existing disarmStartupWedgeWatchdog method through an optional-chained call, so it's safe to invoke even if the underlying server object isn't set up yet.
Why
This is an internal code-organization change with no visible effect on how Claude Code behaves; the stuck-startup detection itself already existed.
