What
Starting a cloud or teleport session (running Claude Code on a remote machine) by uploading a bundle of your local working tree is now blocked for organizations under a HIPAA compliance policy. Instead of proceeding, Claude Code tells the user that uploaded-copy sessions aren't available for HIPAA-regulated organizations and to start the session from a GitHub repository source instead.
Why
This prevents HIPAA-regulated organizations from starting cloud sessions in a way that may not meet their compliance requirements, steering them toward starting from a GitHub repository instead.
