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.\n\n- 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.\n\n- Any other cause: a general message says the cloud session couldn't start.\n\n**Why**\n\nPreviously 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.\n\n- Area: Cloud Sessions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
