What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Claude in Chrome (the browser extension bridge that lets Claude Code control a Chrome browser) can now be pointed at a specific paired device using a new CLAUDE_CHROME_PAIRED_DEVICE_ID environment variable. When set, this value is checked against the expected device-id format; if it doesn't match, Claude Code ignores it and logs a warning instead of using it.
Why
This lets you pin bridge setup to one specific browser-extension device rather than letting Claude Code pick automatically, which matters if you have more than one paired device and want predictable connections. The format validation means a mistyped or malformed id fails safely with a warning rather than causing a confusing connection error.
