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:\n\n- the wait was aborted\n\n- the computer withdrew\n\n- the tools are still missing\n\nClaude Code also now recognises download paths that start with `\/connector-downloads\/`.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes how long attaching tools on a remote or Cowork computer can take, and makes it clearer why an attach did not complete.\n\n- Area: Linked Computers\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
