Under the hood

Reading tokens from file descriptors is now skipped under CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE, which also affects entrypoint detection.

Startup now gates reading of several file-descriptor-based secret sources, the OAuth token FD, gateway token FD (CLAUDE_CODE_GATEWAY_TOKEN_FILE_DESCRIPTOR), API key FD, and websocket auth FD, behind !$e(a.CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE). "Remote" entrypoint detection now also treats CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE being set together with a resolved websocket or gateway token as a remote entrypoint.

What the documentation says
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 Configure cloud environments touched a line naming CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE after this was published. * **No cloud-only scoping**: hooks run in both local and cloud sessions. To skip local execution, exit early unless the `CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE` environment variable is `true`, the way the [dependency install script](#install-dependencies-with… cloud-environments see the edit
