The library it uses for this, node-forge, is now loaded only when such a check actually runs, instead of being loaded up front.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis may reduce the work Claude Code does when it starts. The check itself is not expected to behave any differently.\n\n- Area: Internals\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
