Unclear It is not clear which apps declare that they show the offer themselves.
What
Claude Code can offer to set up its Chrome browser connection. Before, whether that offer was shown depended on Claude Code not running standalone, and on SSH_AUTH_SOCK and GIT_SSH_COMMAND not being set. Now it asks the host, the app Claude Code runs inside, whether the host shows the offer itself.
Apps that embed Claude Code through the SDK can declare this with declareHostRendersChromeSetupOffer. They can also declare declareForwardNestedSubagentToolCalls.
Why
The decision now depends on the app you are using rather than on guesses from environment variables, so the offer may appear in different places than before.
