- Change Dockerfile to improve build process and set up workspace directory - Modify docker-compose.yml to allow read-write access for Claude credentials and mount workspace - Update index.html to conditionally include skipPermissions parameter - Add test endpoint for permissions checking in server.js - Enhance README with important notes on permissions and CLI access - Refactor code to use ES module syntax for execa in multiple files - Improve error handling for streaming in server.js This commit prepares the project for better usability in Docker environments and enhances the web demo experience.
The actual Claude CLI stores OAuth tokens in ~/.claude/.credentials.json, not auth.json. Updated all documentation to reflect the correct filename.

Any specific reason to delete the CLAUDE.md file entirely?
Can we keep it and only update its content if necessary

There was a problem hiding this comment.
There is already an existing section about OAuth Token Management. can you please make sure these 2 sections are merged?
Also the note about the location of credentials in Mac is not correct. It's stored in keychain that other section outlines it

Can you please double check if all of these tests pass?
I ran locally and they failed for different reasons.

Apparently these 2 files do not exist

I tested a few scenarios but didn't manage to make tokens emitted. Shall I do any special configurations to receive these events?

curious why license entries are removed?

Why api-key is not provided via --api-key anymore?
| // Check if it's a streaming response | ||

What would it take to support streaming in sessions?

Thank you so much for contributing to Just added a few questions and feedback to be addressed before shipping this feature. |

Hi @s-soroosh yes very much AI generated! I did run through it all a few times to make sure it was working code and tests ran but seems like a few issues got through. My version does support streaming in sessions so let me review this. Maybe hold off for now until I've reviewed it all a bit better. Hopefully over the weekend. |
