When that host stops responding, Claude receives a message saying so. That message now tells Claude to:\n\n- not call the host again in this turn (a turn is one round of Claude working on your message)\n\n- finish the parts of the task the current machine can do\n\n- tell you what is blocked and what it could not check\n\n- try the host again only when you say it is back or ask it to retry\n\nThe message Claude gets when a request is refused without confirmation gains the same \"do not call it again in this turn\" line. A bug that stopped the \"while this command was running\" wording from appearing correctly in the message is also fixed.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude no longer keeps poking a host that has gone silent during a single turn. It carries on with what it can do and tells you plainly what is waiting on the host.\n\n- Area: Remote Tools\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
