What
When a spare cloud session, one started ahead of time so it is ready when needed, is picked up for use, Claude Code now records how long it has been since it started. The start time is read from the CCR_SPAWN_TIMESTAMP_MS environment variable, which is a value passed to a program when it starts.
Why
This is a measurement only and does not change how sessions behave.
