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.

Claude Code v2.1.139

Remote Control Diagnostics Are More Specific

Remote Control now tells users why it is unavailable in more cases, especially when the session is using API-key auth or a non-first-party backend.

Details
  • Distinguishes ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, apiKeyHelper, and ANTHROPIC_UNIX_SOCKET cases.
  • Explains that Remote Control requires claude.ai subscription auth.
  • Adds a specific message when the active backend is not api.anthropic.com.
Evidence

Remote Control auth diagnostics (search for "Remote Control requires claude.ai subscription auth", "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set", "Remote Control is only available when using Claude via api.anthropic.com")

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