Problem Statement
In the Claude Code sessions panel, project groups are only labeled by their local folder name (e.g. my-local-folder). When working across multiple machines via SSH, there is no way to tell at a glance whether a project group belongs to the local machine or a remote SSH host — you have to click into each session to find out.
This is especially painful when the same folder name exists on both local and remote hosts.
Proposed Solution
Display a small Local or SSH hostname badge next to (or below) the project group name in the sessions panel. For example:
my-local-folder [Local]
my-dev-server-folder [dev-server]
my-project [build-machine]
The label would use:
Localfor sessions running on the local machine- The SSH hostname (from
sshConfigs[].nameor the host address) for remote sessions

- #51028 — SSH sessions feature parity with local sessions
Use Cases
- Quickly distinguish local vs remote project sessions at a glance
- Users managing the same codebase across multiple machines (e.g. local laptop + remote dev server)
- Prevent accidentally sending prompts to the wrong environment
