What
Claude Code runs some helper processes, which are separate small programs working alongside it. At startup, the attach-serve helper now tries to mark itself so that other programs running under your user account cannot read its memory. That memory holds a sign-in token, the credential that keeps you signed in. Before, only the code review helper did this.
If the protection cannot be applied, the helper shows a warning that it could not make itself non-dumpable.
Why
It makes it harder for another program on the same machine to steal your sign-in credential from this helper.
