What
Remote Control lets you drive a Claude Code session from another device. A session is one running conversation with Claude Code, and its working directory is the folder it works in. A request from a remote client to change that folder can now be refused, and the session keeps its folder.
- The refusal reason is
remote_origin, added as a new failure reason for the change-directory request. - The message reads: "This Remote Control session stays in the folder it was started in. To work in another folder, start a new session there."
- The refusal is controlled by a server-side setting,
tengu_idempotent_blossom. Nothing has been read about this setting, so it is not known who gets the refusal.
Why
Where the refusal applies, you can no longer switch folders mid-session from a Remote Control client. To work in another folder, start a new session in that folder.
