Unclear It is not clear exactly which remote-session setting makes the cloud Bash dialog appear.

What

Claude Code can run tasks in the cloud instead of on your computer. It now has a cloud version of the Bash dialog, the window that shows a shell command being run, and it appears when a remote-session setting is active.

Other small changes to the same screens:

  • The Background tasks dialog now registers itself under the name cloud-tasks-dialog.
  • The teleport dialog, used to move a session between places, has a new empty slot in its layout.
Why

The screens for watching and managing cloud tasks are being reworked, so people who use cloud or remote sessions may see a different dialog when a command runs.
