What
A self-hosted runner is a machine you run yourself to carry out remote Claude Code sessions.
- With
--configure-git, the runner now runsgit --versionat startup. It exits with an error if git is older than the required version or does not answer within the time limit. A git that hangs is forcibly stopped. The git version error mentions SSH commit signing. Before, a failure was only reported afterwards, with "Check git is on PATH and ~/.gitconfig is writable". - The check of
--use-anthropic-git-proxynow happens earlier in startup. - Registration now sends
usesAgentProxyStandaloneinstead ofagentProxyUrl. - The request to
/v1/code/sessions/{id}/remotenow sendsuses_agent_proxy_standalone=truewhenusesAgentProxyStandaloneis set. It used to send anagent_proxy_urlvalue. - Separately, a review-prompt hint now reads "clear text to dismiss" under a certain condition.
Why
A runner image with an old git, or a git that does not respond, now stops at startup with a clear message instead of failing later. The way the runner tells the server about its agent proxy has changed.
