File tool can now fall back to a single unsynced remote machine, with a warning it may be at a different commit

What

When Claude Code's file tool (used for Read, Bash, and similar operations) needs to pick which attached machine to run a command on, it can now fall back to a single remote machine even if that machine isn't set up for two-way or upload-only project sync. In that case, the tool warns that the remote machine holds its own separate copy of the project, that nothing is synced between it and the current session's checkout, and that it may be at a different commit.

Why

This lets a command still run on the only available remote machine instead of failing outright, while making clear the files there might not match what the current session sees.
