What probably matters to youSection of the release
Unclear It is not clear which kinds of remote session support running '!' commands.
What
Typing ! before a line in Claude Code runs it directly as a shell command. In a remote session, meaning one running on another machine, this always used to be refused with a message that '!' commands aren't available in cloud sessions yet.
When the remote session supports running shell commands, a ! command can now run. The command runs under /bin/sh, or PowerShell on Windows, and its output is capped. The result notes when the command ended early:
[stopped: the command printed more than 100 MB] when it printed too much
When the remote session does not support it, the refusal now reads "'!' commands aren't available in a session on another machine". Cloud sessions keep the existing message. A command sent for a different folder than the one the session is now in is not run, and you are told to ask Claude to run it instead.
Why
Shell ! commands may start working in some remote or attached sessions where they were always refused before.
