What
Remote Control lets you drive a Claude Code session on your computer from another device. When it reads a file from your computer for the other device, it can now do more:
- Offset: the read can start partway through a file, or count back from the end with a negative number.
- Extra details: it reports where it started, how many bytes it read, the file's total size, and an etag, a tag that changes when the file changes.
- Upload screening: in upload mode it refuses files whose names look like they hold credentials, and reports that the file was screened.
- Linux check: on Linux it also checks which file it actually opened.
Before, a read returned only the contents and a few basic details.
Why
It allows reading part of a large file over a remote connection, and keeps files that look like password or key files from being uploaded.
