What
When a tool call is routed to a machine that hasn't announced itself yet, Claude Code now computes a wait time (reconnectWaitMs) and shows a status message like 'Waiting up to N s for X to reconnect…' instead of failing the call immediately.
Why
This gives a machine a chance to reconnect before a cross-machine tool call is treated as failed, reducing spurious failures from brief disconnects.
