Unclear The finding doesn't say why recovery is now restricted to remote sessions specifically, only that the condition was added.
What
On startup, Claude Code can recover background tasks that were still running when a previous session was interrupted, controlled by the CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN setting. This recovery now also requires that the session is using remote transport, meaning it won't attempt this recovery for local sessions.
