Claude Code now reads a token from its standard credential file in local sessions too. Before this, it only read that file when CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE was set, the variable that marks a remote session. You no longer need to set that variable just to pick up a saved token. Saving and deleting credential files still only works when CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE is set.
