Claude Code v2.1.234 ·

Remote Control reconnection is driven by ownership, not epochs

Remote Control reconnects based on who owns the session rather than counting registration epochs.

What

Remote Control no longer decides reconnection correctness by comparing registration epochs with a retry budget. It now watches for the session owner changing and re-checks ownership before proceeding.

Details
  • Removed: the compare-and-set epoch fence, the worker epoch tracker, the 4090 epoch_stale conflict handler with its per-hour re-registration budget, and the messages about a registration going stale or another connection taking over during restore.
  • Added: an owner-change subscription, plus an owner-changed check before connect, before handling incoming data, and on token refresh.
  • Inbound frames are buffered while an owner check is in flight and drained afterwards; the drain is abandoned if the connection was superseded in the meantime.
  • The owner-change path only runs when the owner check reports it applies.
