Unclear It is not stated which mode turns off proxies and redirects for this fetch.
What
When Claude Code starts, it fetches some setup information from Anthropic. That fetch now also records a fingerprint (a hash) of the login token it used, and whether the address it was sent to had moved. In one mode it turns off proxies and redirects for this request. Its success report now notes whether the login token named a plan.
Why
The startup fetch is harder to tamper with in that mode.
