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.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Added since A small documentation edit on Environment variables touched a line naming claude --cloud after this was published. | `CCR_FORCE_BUNDLE` | Set to `1` to force [`claude --cloud`](/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web#send-local-repositories-without-github) to bundle and upload your local repository instead of cloning from its remote | env-vars see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up claude --cloud, on Use Claude Code on the web. When you run `claude --cloud` from a repository that has no git remote, or from a github.com repository that the Claude GitHub App isn't installed on, Claude Code bundles your local repository and uploads it directly to the cloud session. … claude-code-on-the-web see the edit
