Both are registered hidden, so they do not show up in `--help`. Startup refuses them in non-interactive, print, `--sdk-url`, `--init-only` and redirected sessions, and in sessions attached to a remote environment, each with its own error text.\n\n**Details**\n\n- A malformed value produces an artifact-id\/URL error; a URL belonging to a different environment is rejected against the one you are signed in to.\n- Neither flag string appears in the previous build.\n\n**Usage**\n\n`claude --watch-artifact https:\/\/claude.ai\/...` **Evidence** `Error: --watch-artifact is not available in sessions attached to a remote environment \\u2014 run it in a plain local session`\n\n- Area: Artifacts\n- Names: `--watch-artifact`, `--watch-artifact-no-autoreact`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 5\/5"}
