Unclear It is not clear what marks the worker as gone or whether this applies to every cloud session.

What

When you work with a cloud session (Claude Code running on a remote machine rather than your own), the Background dialog lists the tasks running there. Before, its subtitle always read "Running in the cloud session" and pressing x always tried to stop the selected task.

Now, when the remote worker is reported as gone:

  • the dialog shows "The cloud session may have stopped, and its tasks too"
  • the x stop key does nothing

Claude Code also records two usage events: one when the dialog is shown and one when a stop is unavailable.

Why

If the remote machine has stopped, a stop request cannot reach it. Blocking the key and showing the warning keeps you from pressing stop and assuming it worked.
