When the versions do not match, the action is not run and the message now says what to do:\n\n- If Claude on the other device is too old, update the Claude app or Claude Code there and open the session again.\n\n- If this session's Claude Code is too old for the other device, start a new session. The message says retrying will not help.\n\nBoth messages say the action was not run.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude gets a clear instruction to pass on to you instead of retrying an action that cannot succeed.\n\n- Area: Remote Control\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
