The same steps are now also skipped in another mode:\n\n- reading credentials from a well-known file\n\n- cleaning up a cached copy of remote settings\n\n- the OAuth sign-in check\n\nReading the credential file is also skipped in a couple of further cases.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis looks like a mode where Claude Code does not use your stored credentials or sign-in.\n\n- Area: Startup\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
