Unclear The option that triggers the extra setup step is not identified, so it is unclear whether or how a user can turn it on.
What
Claude Code's startup sequence has a few additions:
- One startup option now runs an extra setup step before Claude Code looks for the project's configuration folder.
- When that option is set, Claude Code does not record how long it waited for initialization to finish.
- After stored settings are migrated (converted from an older format to the current one), a check can now run two more steps.
- Sign-in at startup now takes a
startsSessionoption, which marks whether that sign-in begins a session (one continuous conversation with Claude Code). It also passes the type of any sign-in error along.
Why
This is a rework of the startup flow. Most people should not notice any difference when Claude Code launches.
