What
A cloud session runs on Anthropic's servers instead of your own computer. Claude Code can now receive a notice saying that such a session was refused and could not start, and it shows you a message about it.
No GitHub connection: the message says the session owner has no working GitHub connection and gives a link to the connectors page under /customize/connectors, where it can be set up.
Any other cause: a general message says the cloud session couldn't start.
Why
Previously you had no way of knowing why the session failed. Now you can see the cause, and when it is a missing GitHub connection you get a direct link to fix it.
