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.

Cloud Sessions not in their notes

Starting a cloud session in your home directory now blocks device linking and tells you to use a project folder.

claude --cloud
What

Launching a cloud session from your home directory now blocks linking this machine to it, with a message telling you to run claude --cloud from a project folder of its own.

Details
  • The new refusal reason launched_from_home is checked first, before the existing network, account and device-proof checks.
  • Both the reason and its message are new in this build; nothing turns the check off.
Evidence

launched_from_home

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