Changes since last release

Fixed

  • fix_dispatch_linux.py — Patch A (Sessions-bridge gate): Variable declaration changed from single (let f=!1;const) to triple (let f=!1,p=!1,h=!1;const). Updated regex to handle comma-separated declarations with (?:\w+=!1,)* prefix. The gate variable h is now h = f || p where p is the new remote orchestrator flag.
  • fix_dispatch_linux.py — Patch J (Auto-wake parent): Logger variable renamed BP. Converted from hardcoded byte string to regex with dynamic capture group for the logger variable.
  • fix_dispatch_linux.py — Patch K (present_files unblock): Removed mcp__cowork__present_files from RIt renderer-dependent disallowed tools list. This tool works through the MCP proxy and doesn't need the local renderer. Without this, dispatch file sharing (e.g. PDF generation from phone) gets "Permission denied".

New Upstream

  • Feature flag 4201169164 — Remote Orchestrator (codename "manta" / yukon_silver_manta_desktop). Alternative to local Cowork: connects to Anthropic's cloud via WebSocket (wss://bridge.claudeusercontent.com) instead of local cowork-svc. Enabled via env var CLAUDE_COWORK_FORCE_REMOTE_ORCHESTRATOR=1 or developer setting isMantaDesktopEnabled. Not tested on Linux — likely requires Pro account or server-side enablement.
  • 16 i18n locale files — de-DE, en-US, en-XA, en-XB, es-419, es-ES, fr-FR, hi-IN, id-ID, it-IT, ja-JP, ko-KR, pt-BR, xx-AC, xx-HA, xx-LS. Already handled by build script's i18n copy step.
  • Developer setting isMantaDesktopEnabled — New toggle in developer settings: "Forces yukon_silver_manta_desktop (remote orchestrator mode) regardless of GrowthBook".

Changed

  • CLAUDE_FEATURE_FLAGS.md — Updated for v1.1.8629: new flag 4201169164 (remote orchestrator), function renames (QnHn, BxHk, lAdA, jYJX, VKeOet), documented remote orchestrator architecture and env vars.

Notes

  • No new platform gates — No new darwin/win32-only patterns found. All 32 existing patches still required.
  • All 32 patches pass with zero failures on v1.1.8629. Only variable name renames (handled by \w+ wildcards).
