Moving a session to the cloud now relaunches with claude --cloud…

What

A cloud session is a Claude Code session that runs on Anthropic's servers rather than on your computer. /teleport (also /tp) and the --teleport flag connect your terminal with cloud sessions. This release changes how a local session is moved into the cloud and how resuming is suggested.

The menu no longer starts the restart itself. Before, it showed 'Checking this session, then restarting Claude Code to move it to a new cloud session…'.
A new move path checks that moving is allowed, prints 'Moving this session to the cloud…' and relaunches Claude Code as claude --cloud --resume <id>. It carries over --permission-mode, --model, --effort and --disallowed-tools.
The move is refused, with a specific message, when Claude is still working ('Not moved: Claude is still working. Wait for it to finish, then run /teleport again.'), when a command is queued, or when a client data URL is set with --client-data-url or CLAUDE_CODE_CLIENT_DATA_URL.
It is also refused when input is not an interactive terminal, when Remote Control is keeping messages local, for background sessions, while a task is running ('stop it in /tasks') and for unsaved sessions.
It is refused when the session file is missing, when the session ID contains capital letters, or when Claude Code cannot confirm that moving is allowed on this computer, for this account or for its organization.
Each refusal points to claude --cloud --resume as the fallback, and several tell you to run /teleport again.
New messages cover what stays local (kept_here) and limits that are not carried over (limits_not_carried). Claude Code also takes a fingerprint of the session's permission settings.
The 'Resume with:' line printed after a remote session is created now shows claude --cloud <id> when an internal check called ldr passes, and claude --teleport <id> otherwise. Before, it always showed --teleport.

The move is tied to the tengu_teleport_send_to_cloud remote switch. The flag server returned off for this site's account and for the anonymous baseline, but no reading has been taken under this release.

Why

When a session cannot be moved, you are told exactly why and what to do instead. The hint after creating a remote session may now suggest --cloud instead of --teleport.

Feature flag

tengu_teleport_send_to_cloud Off in both readings

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

This account: off · anonymous baseline: off · compiled default in v2.1.323: 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.

Names in this entry

cli--cloud
With a task description, create a new cloud session. With a session ID (session_... or cse_...) or a claude.ai/code URL, queue a message into that existing session instead, with -p. See send a follow-up message.
cli--resume
Resume a specific session by ID or name, or show an interactive picker to choose a session. In place of an ID, you can pass the absolute path to a session's .jsonl transcript file. The picker and name search include sessions that added this directory with /add-dir. When you pass a session ID, Claude Code searches the current project directory and its git worktrees, then every other project on this machine. Before v2.1.223, the ID search covered only the current project directory and its git worktrees. Background sessions appear in the picker marked with bg. Resuming one that is still running opens that session in this terminal through claude attach, and a prompt you pass on the command line goes to it as its next turn. Before v2.1.285, Claude Code refused and printed the claude attach command to run instead
slash/teleport
Pull a cloud session into this terminal. Opens a picker, then fetches the branch and conversation. Also available as /tp. Requires a claude.ai subscription
slash/tp
Typing /teleport or /tp in a cloud session now shows the claude --teleport command to run on your own machine
cli--teleport
Resume a cloud session in your local terminal
cli--permission-mode
Begin in a specified permission mode. Accepts default, acceptEdits, plan, auto, dontAsk, bypassPermissions, or manual as an alias for default. The manual alias selects the permission mode the UI labels Manual and requires Claude Code v2.1.200 or later; claude --help lists it in place of default, and both values work. Overrides defaultMode from settings files. Without this flag or --dangerously-skip-permissions, a new session starts in the permission mode described in which permission mode a session starts in, which also covers what a -p run starts in
cli--model
Sets the model for the current session with a model alias such as sonnet, opus, haiku, or fable, or a model's full name. Overrides the model setting and ANTHROPIC_MODEL
cli--effort
Set the effort level for the current session. Options: low, medium, high, xhigh, max, or ultracode. Available levels depend on the model. ultracode requests xhigh effort with ultracode turned on, and requires Claude Code v2.1.203 or later. On the main conversation's model, overrides the modelSettings and effortLevel settings for this session and doesn't persist
cli--disallowed-tools
Deny rules. A bare tool name removes the matching tools from Claude's context: "Edit" removes Edit, "" removes every tool, and "mcp__" removes every MCP tool. A scoped rule such as Bash(rm *) leaves the tool available and denies only calls that match as written. A rule naming EndConversation can't remove it while any other tool remains
cli--client-data-url
--client-data-url or CLAUDE_CODE_CLIENT_DATA_URL loads a signed per-model configuration from Anthropic, and Claude Code will not start if it fails
envCLAUDE_CODE_CLIENT_DATA_URL
--client-data-url or CLAUDE_CODE_CLIENT_DATA_URL loads a signed per-model configuration from Anthropic, and Claude Code will not start if it fails
slash/tasks
View and manage background work in the current session, including subagents that have finished. Also available as /bashes
settingldr
Signing in with auth login now accepts an ldr option and passes it on to the sign-in step
flagtengu_teleport_send_to_cloud
A menu to send your session to the cloud exists but stays hidden unless the server enables it.

Anthropic's notes

Upstream's own release notes for v2.1.323 name something this entry names, so the two are probably about the same change. Probably: the pairing is made on a shared name rather than on the words around it.

Fixed --permission-mode auto or a settings defaultMode: auto starting in a mode that could allow more when auto mode was unavailable. It now starts in Manual mode, which asks first
Changed claude rm and the agents view to say a session is removed from the list, not deleted; claude rm help says the conversation is kept and claude --resume lists it

Is this right?

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.
