What
The bridge, the part of Claude Code that talks to a remote service, writes debug logs. Debug logs are detailed records used for troubleshooting. They now hide more:
Work-poll lines that carry a mode show workId and sessionId as sha12: hashes, a scrambled short code, instead of the real IDs.
type and mode are written only if they are short, plain text (letters, digits, _, . and -, up to 64 characters). Anything else is written as <type>.
The WebSocket input line now replaces JSON values with "[REDACTED]".
Why
Debug logs are often shared when reporting problems. These logs now leak fewer identifiers and less message content.
