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 agents and cloud sessions are refused in restricted sessions

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal3
Cloud Sessions

Restricted sessions fall back to local runs instead of cloud agents or cloud sessions.

What

Asking a Task to run with cloud isolation now falls back to a local or worktree run when the session is restricted, in addition to the existing fallbacks for no claude.ai login and the feature being off, and the log line names which reason applied. Creating a cloud session likewise bails out early with a restricted-session reason.

Details
  • Cloud session creation already refused under a managed policy that disallows remote sessions, and requires the first-party Anthropic API provider; the restricted check joins those.
Evidence

(no claude.ai login or feature gate off), Cloud sessions are only available on the first-party Anthropic API provider.

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