What's Wrong?

Version: Claude Code Mac app 1.1.7714 (2026-03-19)

OS: macOS (client) + Ubuntu VPS (remote, running as root)

Bug: After updating to 1.1.7714, remote SSH connections disconnect
immediately when sending a message.

Root cause: The new client sends --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions
to ccd-cli on the remote server, but ccd-cli refuses this flag when
running as root:
"–dangerously-skip-permissions cannot be used with root/sudo privileges"

This causes ccd-cli to exit with code 1 on every message.

Workaround: Replace ~/.claude/remote/ccd-cli with a wrapper script
that filters out --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions before calling
the real binary.

What Should Happen?

The client should not send this flag, or ccd-cli
should handle it gracefully when running as root.

Error Messages/Logs

Error Messages/Logs
  From ~/.claude/remote/remote-server.log on VPS:
    Process exited with code 1
    Read 93 bytes from stderr

  Direct reproduction on VPS:
  $ ~/.claude/remote/ccd-cli --output-format stream-json --verbose \
    --input-format stream-json --model claude-sonnet-4-6 \
    --permission-prompt-tool stdio --permission-mode acceptEdits \
    --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions --include-partial-messages

  Error: --dangerously-skip-permissions cannot be used with root/sudo privileges for security reasons

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set up a VPS running as root (Ubuntu)
  2. Configure a remote SSH connection in Claude Code Mac app
  3. Update Mac app to version 1.1.7714
  4. Connect to the remote VPS via the app
  5. Send any message in the remote session

→ Connection immediately drops (grey dot, "disconnected")
