What
Remote control lets you drive a Claude Code session from another device. Its setup steps changed in a few internal ways:
The tool host, the helper process that runs tools for the session, can now be started with an optional test VM setting.
Detecting whether the folder is a git repository is now a separate step from checking the worktree hook.
The message for --allow-unattended-tool-calls keeps its wording, apart from a renamed reference to CLAUDE_CODE_CHILD_SESSION, the environment variable Claude Code sets in programs it starts.
Why
These are mostly internal changes. Using remote control should look the same as before.
