What probably matters to youSection of the release
Unclear What the different message says, and which devices the platform check matches, is not stated.
What
Claude Code can control Chrome through a browser extension. When that extension is not connected, Claude Code says so. A new step can now return a different message instead, when all of these hold:
the session passes a check for being a remote session
the device used for the last turn passes a platform check
Why
It changes what Claude tells you when you use a session from your phone and Chrome is out of reach.
