Before, starting it with `claude rc` in a folder you had not yet trusted printed \"Workspace not trusted\" and quit. When Claude Code is running in an interactive terminal, it now shows a safety notice and asks `Trust <folder>? [y\/N]`.\n\nThe notice lists what trusting the folder turns on for sessions started there:\n\n- credential helpers and `headersHelper`\n\n- environment variables set by the project\n\n- hooks, which are commands that run automatically at certain points\n\n- the servers in the folder's `.mcp.json` that would be started\n\n- pre-approved permission rules\n\n- extra directories added to the session\n\n- `autoMemoryDirectory`\n\nIf you answer yes, the choice is saved and Remote Control carries on. In your home directory, trust lasts for that run only and is not saved. If the choice cannot be saved to your config, you are told you will be asked again next time. If Claude Code cannot prompt, or the terminal is too small to show all the warnings, it still exits with the \"Workspace not trusted\" error rather than showing a cut-off prompt.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou no longer have to run `claude` separately in a new folder before Remote Control will start there. The prompt also spells out the risky project settings before you accept them.\n\n- Area: Remote Control\n- Names: `claude rc`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
