What
A new unavailability reason, "hermetic remote session", was added alongside existing reasons like sandboxed_entrypoint and unpinned_gateway.
The eligibility check for a background/remote-settings feature now returns ineligible with reason hermetic_remote_session when running under CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE combined with CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_HERMETIC_MODE, checked before the existing gateway/first-party checks.
Why
This lets Claude Code report the correct, specific reason a feature is unavailable when running in a hermetic remote session, instead of falling through to a generic or misleading reason.
