Unclear Where the shared log writer sends logs is not shown.
What
When you run Claude Code on your own runner machines, a coordinating process called the orchestrator manages the work. It now sends its log messages through one shared log writer instead of printing them directly. At startup it writes a debug line starting with [runner:log] that describes this writer. The steps that stop the runner after a fatal error, and that handle environment secrets and the base folder, also log through this writer now.
Why
Where the orchestrator's logs end up may be different, so check the [runner:log] line at startup to see how logging is set up.
How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
