Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

If I start Claude code on Linux, I’m locked in on Linux and there is no option to switch

What Should Happen?

If I start Claude code on one platform them continue with another, I fully expect to be able to switch platforms on my phone. My interpretation is, one can monitor many Claude codes on my phone so I’m not constant going to my computer to click yes. It’s , and this either isn’t documented or is intentionally suppressed, that once one starts on a platform they are totally locked in; do not try to do anything in that session with another platform as it will fail spectacularly.

Error Messages/Logs

I can switch.

Steps to Reproduce

Start a session on one platform the try to do anything where one would expect to perform an action on another.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by restarting the session or exploring configuration options that allow platform switching in the Claude Code application.

Guidance

  • Verify the documentation for Claude Code to see if there are any specific settings or configurations that need to be enabled to allow platform switching.
  • Check if the Anthropic API has any restrictions or limitations on switching platforms during a session.
  • Test the application on a different operating system or platform to see if the issue is specific to Linux or Ubuntu/Debian.
  • Explore the possibility of using a different shell or terminal to interact with the Claude Code application.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not involve a specific code-related problem.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the application's behavior and configuration rather than a code-specific problem. The user's expectation of being able to switch platforms during a session may not be supported by the application.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user can try restarting the session or exploring configuration options to allow platform switching, as the issue is not a regression and has never worked as expected.
