It says Claude can run commands and read and change files in that folder, including in auto mode, and that stopping `claude remote-control` or disconnecting in the Claude app ends it.\n\n- The request must carry exactly three text values, and the folder path and computer name must be single lines and are cleaned up before display. A request that does not fit is denied.\n\n- Approving or denying sends back the original request unchanged, not an edited version or permission changes.\n\n- Remote sessions can answer these folder prompts with a pinned allow (`pinComputerFolderAllow`). Before, only the repository-trust question was handled this way.\n\n- This sits behind a server-controlled flag, `tengu_violin_colophony`, which falls back to off if no answer arrives. When it is on, a `computerFolderPrompt` option is added as well. In earlier readings the flag server returned it on for this site's account and for the anonymous baseline; it has not been read under this release yet.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you use Remote Control, you may be asked to give a cloud session access to a local folder. Approving it lets Claude run commands and change files there, even in auto mode, until you stop `claude remote-control` or disconnect.\n\n- Area: Remote Control\n- Names: `claude remote-control`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 5\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
