What
A self-hosted runner is a machine you run yourself to carry out Claude Code jobs. When its setup fails because the source branch it was asked to use cannot be found, the hint about retrying now reads:
"Retrying will fail the same way until you fix the missing branch described below."
Before, this hint was the same generic text used for every kind of setup failure.
Why
The message now tells whoever runs the runner what to do: retrying alone will not help, and the missing branch has to be fixed first.
