DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Bridge Pointer for Worktree-Aware Reconnection

What

Remote session reconnection now supports git worktrees by writing and discovering bridge-pointer.json files across worktree directories.

Details
  • A bridge-pointer.json file stores sessionId, environmentId, and source for reconnection
  • When reconnecting, Claude Code searches across git worktrees to find an active session pointer
  • Pointers older than 4 hours are automatically cleared
  • Fanout search is capped to prevent performance issues with many worktrees
Evidence

Bridge pointer system (search for "bridge-pointer.json") and worktree fanout (search for "[bridge:pointer] fanout found pointer in worktree")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
