Unclear What a pool and an environment query correspond to from your side is not stated.
What
These changes affect starting a cloud session, which runs Claude Code on remote machines instead of your own, with --cloud and --environment.
--environmentis now parsed as a pool, an id (startingenv_) or a name. Only a pool id actually works so far: anything else still returns the error that--environmentexpects a self-hosted environment id (ccpool_...).- A cloud run without the interactive screen now resolves an environment query, if one is given, before creating the session. If that fails it stops with an error. If it succeeds it adds a notice, unless the chosen environment moved.
- The
--cloudhint text and flag are now chosen when an environment query is given, not only when a pool is. - When
--cloudis given with no value, the task can now come from the prompt you passed separately, such as piped input or a positional argument. The--cloud requires a descriptionerror and the message about--cloudnot also taking piped input are kept. - The non-interactive error asking you to drop
--cloud/--remotewith a description now applies only when the environment is a pool.
Why
More ways of calling claude --cloud are accepted without the interactive screen. Choosing an environment by name or env_ id is not usable yet, so keep using ccpool_ ids for now.
