…n home The SDK's forkSession reads session files from process.env.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, which is the server's environment. An instance with a custom homePath stores its sessions elsewhere, so every fork failed with "Session ... not found in project directory" and the thread showed "Claude Agent SDK query failed". Fork now runs in the existing Claude history worker, under the instance's environment, when the instance's config dir differs from the server's. Instances on the server's own config dir keep the in-process path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This is a targeted fix for Claude sessions stored under a custom home, with tests covering the worker path and preserving the in-process default path. The implementation nevertheless adds environment-sensitive subprocess execution and packaging-specific launch behavior that merits human validation, particularly for executable and Electron deployments. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

official Node.js documentation TypeScript type stripping Node 22.16 22.18 --experimental-strip-types
💡 Result:
Official versioned docs:
- [Node.js v22.16.0 — TypeScript](https://nodejs.org/download/release/v22.16.0/docs/api/typescript.html): `--experimental-strip-types` enables running TypeScript files. It strips inline types without type-checking; syntax that requires JavaScript transformation needs `--experimental-transform-types`. ([nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/download/release/v22.16.0/docs/api/typescript.html?utm_source=openai))
- [Node.js v22.16.0 — CLI](https://nodejs.org/download/release/v22.16.0/docs/api/cli.html): documents the flag as experimental, added in v22.6.0. ([nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/download/release/v22.17.0/docs/api/cli.html?utm_source=openai))
- [Node.js v22.18.0 — TypeScript](https://nodejs.org/download/release/v22.18.0/docs/api/typescript.html) and [CLI](https://nodejs.org/download/release/v22.18.0/docs/api/cli.html): type stripping is enabled by default in v22.18.0; use `--no-experimental-strip-types` to disable it. ([nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/uk/blog/release/v22.18.0?utm_source=openai))
**Bottom line:** use `node --experimental-strip-types file.ts` for v22.16.0. In v22.18.0, `node file.ts` enables stripping by default; the positive flag is no longer needed.

Make the source worker runnable on the minimum supported Node version.
The test runner invokes the source worker with Node, but the invocation does not pass --experimental-strip-types. Node 22.16 supports this package and requires that flag for .ts files. Removing CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR does not change the child invocation; the test already overrides it with configDir.

Problem
Forking a thread fails on a Claude instance with a custom
homePath. The fork run fails before it starts (startedAt: null) with "Provider turn failed to start / Claude Agent SDK query failed", and the provider log showssession.forkretried 5 times with nosession.forked. The underlying error isSession <id> not found in project directory for <cwd>.ClaudeAgentSdkQueryRunner.forkSessioncalls the SDK'sforkSessioninside the server process. The SDK reads session files fromprocess.env.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, which is the server's environment, not the instance's. An instance with its own home stores sessions elsewhere, so the lookup never finds the source session. Instances on the default~/.claudehome are unaffected, which is why this only shows up with a customhomePath.Change
When the instance's resolved config dir differs from the server's, the fork runs in the existing Claude history worker (
claudeHistoryWorker, already built for the npm bundle and as the__claude-historysubcommand of the single executable) under the instance's environment. The server's own environment is never modified. Instances that share the server's config dir keep the in-process call, so the common case does not spawn a process.ClaudeAgentSdkSessionForkInputgainsenvironment, passed fromadapterOptions.environmentinforkThread.~/.claude), becausemakeClaudeEnvironmentalways setsCLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, even for the default home.layerQueryRunnernow also requiresChildProcessSpawnerandPath; both are already provided by the production runtime.Scope and approval
Fixes #18260, which a maintainer triaged and confirmed on main. This is a focused replacement for the fork part of #15040 (a larger bundle that currently has conflicts) and for #15598, which was closed in a PR cleanup after a "Would Approve" review. The packaging concern raised on #15598 is addressed below.
