Unclear The condition that makes the token read stop early is not settled.

What

Claude Code's daemon is a background process that keeps running between commands. Three small things changed around it:

  • the hint shown when the daemon is about to exit for being idle now includes the cloud session ID and mentions cloud session clients
  • reading a sign-in token from a fixed, well-known file can now stop early and act as if the file is missing, under a new condition
  • the error about reading the system's list of mounted drives now names /proc/self/mountinfo instead of /proc/self/mounts
Why

These are small diagnostic changes that make the daemon's messages more accurate.
