Several cases are now handled and reported:\n\n- If the account's own settings have not loaded, serving is reported as switched off.\n\n- If the check of whether to keep serving fails, Claude Code stops background shell commands and describes its tools again, and reports the failure.\n\n- If that check later works again, the recovery is reported.\n\n- If the account's setting turns off partway through a session, that is reported too.\n\nBefore, a failure while checking whether to serve was not handled.\n\n**Why**\n\nTool serving now fails closed, meaning it stops rather than carrying on, and it reports when its check breaks.\n\n- Area: Remote Control\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
