When Claude Code registers the machine over the bridge, it can now say whether cloud sessions may use this machine as a tool host, meaning a place where their tools run. Before, this part of the code was switched off entirely and nothing was sent.\n\n- When Claude Code decides to offer the machine, it sends a tool host marker together with its version and platform.\n\n- When it decides to withdraw the offer while reusing an existing registration, it sends empty values to clear the earlier ones.\n\nThe debug log records the decision as \"cloud sessions may use this folder: yes\", or \"no\" followed by what blocked it. Part of the decision depends on a server-controlled setting, `tengu_radiant_heron`, which is off unless it is switched on remotely.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis connects the path that lets cloud sessions use a folder and its tools on your own machine through the bridge. Until now that path was not built into Claude Code at all.\n\n- Flag `tengu_radiant_heron`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.283; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Remote Tools\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 5\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
