/desktop handoff gains a remote-session guard

Not switched on
Useful2 Signal3
Slash Commands

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.

/desktop
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.
