Unclear What carried-over lines are and what a cloud worker session loses by not restoring them is not stated.

What

Remote workers are machines that run Claude Code sessions somewhere other than your own computer. The way they register and are admitted gains new fields:

  • worker_capabilities: the worker registration response can now include this optional object. It is passed along as workerCapabilities.
  • hydratesCarriedLines: the admission result for managed cloud workers now includes hydratesCarriedLines: !1, which means false. Before, it was { admitted: !0, tools: Rr }.
  • Remote tools and turn handoff: hydrates_carried_lines and servedCallsNeverSent are added to the code that passes a turn between machines.

Why

No visible behaviour change is described. These are groundwork in how remote workers describe themselves and hand turns over.
