Unclear It is not clear what triggers each of these messages to appear.

What

Three small messages were added or changed:

  • A status label reading "off in this window" appears in the remote-control display, the feature that lets you drive a session from another device.
  • When Claude Code fails to fetch messages from its remote-control inbox, the error now includes the detail the server sent back.
  • A note about token budgets for subagents was added. A subagent is a helper Claude that Claude Code starts to handle part of a task, and tokens are the units of text that count toward how much it may use.
Why

These are user-facing message changes. The inbox error in particular should make a failed fetch easier to understand.
