Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet

Problem Statement

I have Claude Code remote control sessions running on servers. When there is a new update, I have to quit, restart and turn the remote control session back on.

Proposed Solution

It would be nice if there was a. "hot reload" option that allowed you to update without restarting.

TL;DR

Implementing a "hot reload" feature for Claude Code remote control sessions could alleviate the need for manual restarts during updates.

Guidance

  • Investigate the current update mechanism to understand how it interacts with the remote control session, potentially identifying hooks for a hot reload feature.
  • Consider the feasibility of implementing a command or flag that triggers a reload of the updated components without requiring a full restart.
  • Evaluate potential risks and limitations of a hot reload feature, such as maintaining session state or handling partial updates.
  • Research existing solutions or libraries that provide similar functionality for inspiration or potential integration.

Notes

The implementation details of the hot reload feature are uncertain and may depend on the specific architecture and requirements of Claude Code.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a hot reload feature is likely to be a complex task, so in the short term, developing a script or tool to automate the quit, restart, and re-enable process for remote control sessions could provide a temporary workaround.
