It also keeps a count that goes up whenever the list of connected browsers changes. These are cleared when the connection is made again.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn practice, Claude Code now knows more precisely why a browser connection did not work.\n\n- Area: Browser\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
