What

A cloud session is one where Claude Code runs in a cloud environment rather than on your own machine. The status messages for these sessions have changed:

  • A paused session now shows "paused · reply to resume" instead of just "paused".
  • The message for a lost connection no longer says "mid-turn".
  • When the cloud reports no status for the worker running the session, it now shows as working and active.
Why

The paused message now tells you what to do to continue: reply to the session.
