Internal ChangesSection of the release
What
The Authorization header is the part of a network request that carries your login credentials. Claude Code already rewrote this header on one kind of outgoing request. That decision is now a shared step, and a new helper applies the same rewrite to requests made through the standard fetch method as well.
Why
The same credential handling can now cover more than one kind of request. That could stop an out-of-date login token from being sent on requests the old rewrite did not reach.
