What
The remote-control bridge lets Claude Code connect to a remote session. When it fails to start, Claude Code now records which of several specific reasons caused the failure before showing the error:
org_policy_denied — an organization policy blocked the connection
bridge_disabled — the bridge feature itself is turned off
version_floor — the installed version is too old to support it
Previously, this diagnostic reporting only happened for the org-policy case.
Why
Recording the exact failure reason makes it possible to tell these distinct causes apart instead of lumping them together, which helps diagnose why a given connection attempt didn't work.
