Unclear The condition that was removed is not described, so it is unclear which federation setups behave differently now.
What
Workload Identity Federation lets Claude Code sign in with credentials from another system instead of a personal login. ANTHROPIC_ORGANIZATION_ID is the environment variable that names your organization for it. An environment variable is a named value you set in your shell before starting a program.
When no source location for federation credentials has been set, Claude Code now always works out the organization ID from ANTHROPIC_ORGANIZATION_ID. Before, it also required a second condition to be true first.
Why
This can change how Claude Code detects your organization when you sign in through federation.
