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.

Remote Control Diagnostics Improvements

What

The Remote Control eligibility check (shown in claude doctor and related diagnostics) now shows more granular, correctly-labeled status for each check.

Details
  • Each check now shows a positive or negative label depending on its state, e.g. "Connected to the Anthropic API (api.anthropic.com)" vs. "Not connected to the Anthropic API (api.anthropic.com)"
  • A new explicit org policy check: "Org policy allows Remote Control (allow_remote_control)" / "Org policy does not allow Remote Control" / "Org policy could not be verified"
  • The rollout gate check now distinguishes between "rollout not enabled for this account" and "could not be verified for this account" (no server response)
  • Remote Control is now blocked with a clearer message when the organization's compliance policy disallows it
Evidence

Updated diagnostics function (search for "Connected to the Anthropic API (api.anthropic.com)", "Org policy allows Remote Control (allow_remote_control)", "Remote Control rollout enabled for this account")

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