What
When another connection takes over your session, the disconnect is now reported as ended_elsewhere rather than as a generic drop, and Claude Code stops suggesting you run /remote-control to reconnect.
Details
- Transport closes are classified as either
ended_elsewhereorterminal; only the reconnectable cases keep the reconnect hint. - A takeover detected while restoring a session also reports
ended_elsewhere, alongside the existing message about another connection taking over. - A status element in the UI is hidden in the claimed-elsewhere case.

Confirmed since
Anthropic's documentation has since written up /remote-control, on Claude Code changelog.
