What

Work on remote sessions, where Claude Code is driven from another machine or program, added a modeStamp marker and changed how some clients reply.

  • Metadata attached to permission requests from hook callbacks now records modeStamp: "present" when remote_tool_gate is caller_reauthored, otherwise "other". It is recorded even without device attestation; before, the metadata was empty in that case.
  • Requests served over a remote session channel now carry modeStamp.
  • Clients configured as controlOnly now leave requests they do not support unanswered. Before, they always replied with an 'Unsupported control request subtype' error.

Why

For people hosting remote sessions, a serve-only client no longer sends error replies to requests it was never meant to handle. The modeStamp field mainly supports reporting for the remote-tools work.

The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say what `remote_tool_gate` being `caller_reauthored` means for a user.
