New tip suggests using the Claude desktop app when you're on a third-party cloud provider

What

Claude Code can now show a tip suggesting you run it in the Claude desktop app instead, when you're using a third-party cloud provider or LLM gateway (Bedrock, Mantle, Vertex, Foundry, or a generic gateway) and don't already have the desktop app installed.

Why

This surfaces the desktop app as an option to users on these setups who might not otherwise know about it, but only when it's actually relevant to their configuration.
