It keeps a cache of the tokens (short-lived sign-in credentials) that this process produces.\n\nThe debug message about that cache now names two cases in which the cache is turned off:\n\n- There is no config directory.\n\n- The session is diskless.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you use workload identity federation and see this message in debug output during a diskless session, it means Claude Code is not reusing a cached token.\n\n- Area: Diskless Mode\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
