To decide, Claude Code looks through the session's folders for a file of the same size with matching content.\n\nThis check:\n\n- Only runs in a remote environment.\n\n- Is skipped when `CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE` is `self_hosted`.\n\n- Is controlled by a setting from Anthropic's servers that is on unless switched off remotely.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes what a remote session tells the server about files it has received.\n\n- Flag `tengu_deep_plum`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.318; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: on) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Sessions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
