Unclear What this check controls is not known, so its effect on remote sessions is unclear.

What

Claude Code has a check for whether it is running remotely. It now passes only when all of these are true:

  • Claude Code has a remote session id or a container id
  • the session is not a child session started by another session
  • CLAUDE_CODE_ENVIRONMENT_KIND is not set
Why

In practice, setting CLAUDE_CODE_ENVIRONMENT_KIND makes this check fail even in a remote session.
