Unclear It is not clear when this waiting path is used or whether something has to switch it on.
What
When a folder request attaches a remote computer, Claude Code waits for that computer to announce itself before reporting it as attached. Before, it waited once and logged whether the announcement arrived in time. It now keeps waiting, also waits for the computer's MCP tools (outside tools), and gives a reason when it stops:
the wait was aborted
the computer withdrew
the tools are still missing
Claude Code also now recognises download paths that start with /connector-downloads/.
Why
This changes how long attaching tools on a remote or Cowork computer can take, and makes it clearer why an attach did not complete.
