If you paste the login code back by hand instead of letting it arrive automatically, Claude Code now records that the code was received before it goes on to use it. Before, it used the code without recording that.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is a small fix to the manual-paste login. It likely stops a later timeout or cancellation from treating a successful login as failed.\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
