Unclear The condition that decides between start_refused and open_failed is not stated.
What
When attaching to a cloud session fails at the start, Claude Code can now record a reason. In some cases with a reason, it sends a startup result message and ends the session as start_refused. Otherwise it ends it as open_failed, as before.
Why
This changes how programs driving Claude Code through the SDK learn that a cloud session did not start.
