What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
A new fork_conversation bridge control request is now wired into the REPL for Remote Control sessions. It validates a target message UUID and title, then spawns a background fork of the current conversation, letting a remote client branch a running session mid-conversation.
If starting that fork fails, Claude Code now posts an informational/warning message into the newly forked session explaining that the fork could not be started.
Why
This lets remote clients branch an in-progress conversation without losing context, and makes sure the user still finds out if the fork didn't actually start.
