Claude Code v2.1.299 ·

Remote sessions sign the starting permission mode with a device key

When a remote session is created, its starting permission mode is now signed with a key on your device so it cannot easily be faked

Unclear Whether this signing is switched on for every remote session is not stated.

What

A permission mode sets how freely Claude Code may act without asking you. When a remote session (one that runs on a server instead of your own computer) is created, Claude Code now signs the instruction that sets its starting permission mode, using a key held on your device. If signing fails, the permission mode is still sent, just without a signature.

Why

A signed starting mode is harder for anyone else to forge, so a remote session is less likely to start with permissions you did not choose.
