What
Remote sessions are Claude Code sessions that run on a server and receive your messages over the network. This release changes how those messages are delivered and timed, and adds a new way to prepare attached files earlier.
- A new
relaytransport joins the ways a remote session can connect. The live event stream transport gainsonDeliveredCallbackandconnectionSessionWriters. - Queued messages now carry
aheadOfReadand an optionalserverReceivedWallMs. - The session message format gains an optional
server_received_wall_ms, the session server's clock time when it received the request. Claude Code copies it into the turn result asuser_message_server_received_wall_ms. - A new server-controlled switch,
tengu_amber_ferry(built-in fallback: off), turns on anaheadOfFilesmode for incoming user messages. In that mode, preparing attachments starts before the file downloads finish, and the existing read-ahead behindtengu_polished_reefis skipped. Before, attachments were prepared by a plain call, with read-ahead controlled only bytengu_polished_reef. - The attachment timing record gains an
aheadOfFilesfield, and turn timing also recordsaheadOfRead.
Why
These changes measure and aim to shorten the delay before a remote or cloud session starts working on a message, especially one with attached files. Nothing has been read about tengu_amber_ferry, so whether the earlier attachment preparation is in use is not known.
