While one is being created, Claude Code steps through a checklist. When creation does not succeed, the checklist used to record it as `create_failed` every time. It now records `create_refused` when the request was refused, and keeps `create_failed` for other failures.\n\n**Why**\n\nA refused request and a broken one are different problems. Keeping them apart makes it clearer whether the service said no or something went wrong.\n\n- Area: Cloud Sessions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
