What
claude auth status prints whether you are logged in. Once it has printed that, it now ends straight away. It still returns exit code 0 or 1, the number a script can check to see whether the command succeeded.
Before, it first waited for an internal step to finish and then exited through a separate shared routine.
Why
The exit codes are the same, so scripts that check them should behave as before. When the command finishes may shift slightly, because it no longer waits on that extra step.
