The note said a plugin MCP tool needs this Mac "awake, connected and carrying
the right Python", and called sleep a state that would occur routinely. Two
things were wrong with that.
This operator's Mac does not sleep, so the named instance does not apply. And
there is no wider population to generalise to: build-brief lines 3 and 22 scope
the whole system to a single operator searching for their own job, and jobbsok
is not in the marketplace catalog. A worry about "most other users" is a worry
about people this project does not have.
The dependency itself is real; only the instance was wrong. The one that
survives a never-sleeping Mac is Cowork opened from somewhere else: the bridge
is named remote-devices and the server is a child of Claude.app on THIS Mac, so
a session started on a phone or a second laptop may or may not reach it. That
was not measured, and the note now says so in both directions rather than
guessing.
Stated precisely rather than darkly, because an overstated risk gets discounted
and takes the real one with it. The degradation branch now has two named
triggers instead of one vague one.
