Running plain claude can now be automatically routed to a cloud session unless you pass the new --local flag
What
- A new setting (
cloudSessionsByDefault) can cause a plainclaudeinvocation — one with no explicit session, resume, continue, teleport, connect, SSH, worktree, or remote-control flags — to be automatically routed to a cloud session instead of running locally. - A new
--localflag lets you opt out and force a local session; internally the outcome of this decision is tracked as "none", "declined" (for example because--localwas passed), or "applied". - This decision (
defaultedToCloud) is threaded through the session startup configuration, and reported in telemetry, including a newcloud_session_defaultevent fired on cancel, failure, or success.
Why
This means running Claude Code the normal way could start a cloud session rather than a local one, depending on account or organization configuration. The --local flag is how to guarantee you get a local session.
