What
A work order is a piece of work handed to a remote runner, which is a machine that runs Claude Code. Each reason a runner can refuse a work order now comes with an exit code. An exit code is a number a program returns when it stops, where 0 means success.
Orders that were replaced, paused or gone: exit 0
Orders that were already used: exit 1
Three new refusal reasons were added: queue_entry_gone, pool_moved and standby_gone.
Why
Runners kept on standby now stop without reporting a failure when they turn out not to be needed.
