Cline desktop 0.0.31 drives a remote machine over SSH
The feature under the broken build: Cline runs agent tools, workspace discovery, Git metadata and session persistence on a remote host while the app stays local, configured under Settings → Remote. Approvals return to the desktop. Host metadata is written at mode 0600 and records an identity-file path, never key contents. Linux x64 and arm64 hosts only, and one day old.4
Relevant to: Anyone who wants an agent's file writes and shell to happen on a dev box rather than a laptop.
What the verdict meansAvailable, but early — bugs, limits or price.
