Claude Code v2.1.285 ·

Losing sign-in partway through a session counts as a temporary feature-flag failure

When sign-in is lost mid-session, fetching feature settings now treats it as a temporary failure rather than a lasting one

What

Claude Code fetches feature flags from https://api.anthropic.com/. Feature flags are switches that turn parts of Claude Code on or off remotely. The address now comes from a small lookup step instead of being written in directly, but it is still the same address.

If your sign-in stops working partway through a session, Claude Code now records that and treats the failed flag fetch as a temporary problem rather than a lasting one.

Why

This is a small robustness change to how feature flags are fetched. It has no settings of its own and nothing for you to do.

The writer flagged doubtIt is unclear what a user would notice differently when sign-in is lost during a session.
