What
When a tool call is forwarded to another host and served there, Claude Code keeps records of it. Those records now carry two extra identifiers.
The dispatch record (previously tool_use_id, tool, host, host_epoch and dispatched_at) accepts optional request_id and instance_id fields. Each is checked against a pattern, and a malformed value is dropped instead of rejecting the whole record.
The in_flight_served_calls record now includes request_id and instance_id and is refreshed when either changes. Before, it was keyed only by host_epoch.
Updates to that in-flight record are batched into one notification per short processing step, instead of one for every call added.
The directory-sync note written after a remote call is simpler: the deferWrite and exclusive options and the 'taken_in' routine flag are gone.
Why
This is internal plumbing for remote execution. It lets forwarded calls be matched up more reliably and cuts down on repeated update messages.
