It now does so only when the `CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE` environment variable is set, and another check was added; otherwise it finds no token there. Before, a different check decided whether the file was read.\n\n**Why**\n\nFalling back to the token file is limited to remote sessions.\n\n- Area: Auth\n- Names: `CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
