Finding a host used to need its exact name. Claude Code now also tries a partial name:\n\n- If exactly one host matches, Claude Code uses it.\n\n- If no host or several hosts match, the host is treated as unknown.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou can refer to a remote tool host by a shorter name, as long as the shorter name matches only one host.\n\n- Area: Remote Machines\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
