In a remote session, one running on another machine, that question can be left waiting and the answer can arrive only after the session has restarted.\n\nClaude Code now has a way to handle such a late answer more carefully: before applying it, Claude Code waits until the SDK servers have been read. SDK servers are MCP tool servers supplied by an app that runs Claude Code through its software development kit, or SDK. Without this wait, the answer is applied straight away, as before.\n\nThe wait is controlled by the remote setting `tengu_steady_wilkes`, together with a second check. The built-in fallback, used when the server sends nothing, is off, and with it Claude Code keeps the old behaviour. The flag server returned off for this site's account and for the anonymous baseline.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes how a remote session picks up again after a permission prompt was left waiting across a restart. Waiting for the SDK servers means the late answer is applied once the tools it may refer to are available again.\n\n- Flag `tengu_steady_wilkes`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.321; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: off, compiled default: off) 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"}
