Affected surface: Vault credential management
Official updates said adding credentials to Vaults was failing before a fix was implemented and the incident was resolved later that hour.
- The failure path was narrow enough that many ordinary Claude users may not have noticed anything unusual.
- This kind of setup incident can still feel like an outage if a workflow depends on adding credentials right then.
- It is another example of why outage history should preserve product-surface context instead of flattening everything into one chart.
