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

New cloud sessions now tell the cloud which permission mode they started in, falling back if refused.

What

A freshly created cloud session now records the permission mode it started in and pushes it to the cloud side once, retrying on failure. Previously only sessions attaching to an existing conversation pushed a mode, and only plan mode. If the cloud side refuses, the local mode falls back to default with a notification; if the retries give up, a warning notification appears.

Details
  • Applies only when creating a session rather than attaching, and not for viewer-only sessions. It is additionally behind a feature check whose in-source default is not stated, so whether it runs is decided by server configuration.
  • The retry helper tracks which mode was last observed on the wire and whether the launch mode was already reported; a repeat attempt logs [useRemoteSession] Create permission mode already pushed for this session.
  • The give-up warning is keyed remote-create-mode-unrecorded.
