REMOTE ARC

Commands and recovery

Start approved processes, collect output and inspect background recovery.

Choose the capability boundary per computer

Read access, supported writes, process inspection, terminal execution, browser interaction and task capabilities are separate controls. Trusted Write Locations and sensitive-path rules narrow supported file operations. When unrestricted terminal execution is enabled, the command still inherits the permissions of the local operating-system user, so it should be enabled only on devices where that authority is acceptable.

Understand local recovery and hosted state

Supported file edits can create Local Undo snapshots on the device, and recovery checks the current file revision before restoring older content. Hosted Remote Arc stores account, device, grant, policy, usage and task metadata needed for routing and recovery. It is not intended to become a backup of your whole filesystem.

Use durable work for deterministic continuation

Long Tasks, schedules and condition watches can save work that should continue after the current chat stream ends. These mechanisms are best for bounded commands and checks with observable results. When the next step requires new judgment rather than a predetermined command, a supported reasoning controller must resume and decide what to do next.
