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.

/context remote failures can hide the raw error

Not switched on
Useful2 Signal2
Elsewhere

Remote /context failures can hide the underlying error and just say it couldn't fetch.

The same per-session condition routes error text to logs instead of the screen.

/context
What

When the remote context fetch fails and the same unnamed per-session condition holds, you see only "Couldn't fetch context from remote" and the underlying error goes to the log at error level; otherwise the error text is still shown inline.

Evidence

Couldn't fetch context from remote

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