Before, a single missed probe marked the machine as away at once. Now, if a probe is missed while the machine is still listed as online:\n\n- Claude Code reports that it is waiting.\n\n- It keeps probing for a set period.\n\n- If the machine answers, Claude Code reports that it is back.\n\n- Only if it never answers is the machine marked away.\n\nSeveral checks waiting at the same time share one probing loop.\n\n**Why**\n\nMachines with a shaky connection are less often reported as unreachable when they are still there.\n\n- Area: Remote Tools\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
