What
When Claude Code runs embedded inside another application (the host), it can hand sign-in tasks to that host. Before, the only request it registered was for a refreshed sign-in token. Now, when a check passes, it also registers a second request: it asks the host for session bearer tokens. A bearer token is a pass that proves who you are on each request.
This second request is removed when Claude Code shuts down.
Why
Applications that embed Claude Code have a new way to supply credentials to it.
