What
When several Claude Code processes share the same login credentials, one of them takes a lock while it refreshes the login, so the others wait. Before, any lock older than 60 seconds was treated as abandoned and could be taken over. Now:
a lock whose holder is shown to still be running is never treated as abandoned
a lock whose holder cannot be shown to be running becomes abandoned after a set time
a request to take over the lock is tied to the holder's folder rather than to its process
The log message written when a process takes over a lock is also shorter.
Why
This may cut down on one Claude Code process wrongly taking the lock from another that is still busy refreshing, which matters when you run several at once.
