What
Some sessions are bound to a single computer and accept messages only from it or from a trusted device. When a message is refused for that reason, the advice now reads: "this machine could not prove it is the computer the session is bound to, or a trusted device; run /login to enroll it".
It still points you to /login to sign in and add the machine.
Why
The error now says what went wrong on your machine, not only the rule the session follows.

List those blocks in the `gatewayInternalNetworks` managed…claude-apps-gatewaysee the edit
Confirmed sinceAnthropic's documentation has since written up /login, on Use Claude Code in the cloud.* ``Cloud sessions need a claude.ai sign-in. Run `claude auth login` (or /login in a local session), then try again.``claude-code-on-the-websee the edit
