Unclear What causes the API key helper to be out of effect, and so when this error appears, is not stated.

What

An API key helper is a script an administrator can set up to supply the key Claude Code uses to sign in. Claude Code has a new error for one case: it did not send your claude.ai login because the API key helper your administrator set is not in effect. The message tells you to run /status to see where each of your settings comes from.

Why

If your organization manages your settings, you now get a plain explanation and a next step instead of an unexplained sign-in failure.
