Source Intelligence

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 registration sends a stable machine_id

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal0
Remote Control not in their notes

Your machine now gets a stored id so remote sessions recognise the same workstation each time.

remoteControlMachineId
What

Bridge environment registration now identifies the machine with a persistent id, so the same workstation is recognised across sessions.

Details
  • POST /v1/environments/bridge includes machine_id when one is available, alongside machine_name, directory, branch and git_repo_url
  • the id is a UUID stored in global config under the new remoteControlMachineId key
  • it is only handed back to callers if the config write actually succeeded, which is why the global-config save path now returns a boolean instead of nothing
Evidence

machine_id: a.machineId, remoteControlMachineId

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