What

Claude Code now sends a new header, x-claude-code-tunnel-credential-epoch, on tunnel connections. A header is a small labelled piece of information sent with a network request, and a tunnel is a connection that links a session to Claude Code running elsewhere. A lock check also now reports that the lock changed when the lock file's last-modified time differs from the one it was watching.

Why

This affects how Claude Code handles one copy of a remote or tunnel session taking over from another.
