Amp runners can now share their desktop, so you can watch and drive native apps remotely

As of Oct 16, start an Amp runner with amp --no-tui --desktop (or turn on Share This Mac's Display in the macOS app) and its threads get a Desktop tab in the browser or iPhone/iPad apps for viewing and controlling the runner's screen, handy for testing iOS or desktop apps the agent just built. macOS needs Apple Silicon on macOS 26+, while Linux runners spin up a separate virtual desktop so your own session isn't captured.

Anthropic's Oct 15 write up says merged Claude Code PRs more than doubled from June to September while the revert share fell over 40%, with most reading moved to Claude reviewers, blocking security review, and classifier set risk tiers where low risk changes from trusted authors need no human approval.
