/desktop handoff gains a remote-session guard

Handing your session off to the desktop app now also refuses remote sessions, but the command is inert anyway.

The /desktop handoff gained a remote-session guard, but a preceding check returns false unconditionally so the command never appears.

What

The predicate behind the desktop command, described as "Continue the current session in Claude Desktop", now additionally requires that the session is not remote or control-channel attached.

Details
  • the org allow_desktop_handoff policy check still applies
  • the first condition is a function that returns false unconditionally in this build, so the command stays inert regardless of policy or session type
Evidence

allow_desktop_handoff

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