description	Configure and troubleshoot CCAM Remote Data Sources that collect Claude Code and Codex history over SSH. Use when adding, editing, testing, syncing, or removing a remote machine, verifying provider paths, or deciding whether to retain or purge imported sessions.

Remote Collection

1. List current sources with ccam remote-sources.
2. Validate the host through the user's existing SSH configuration. CCAM stores no passwords or private keys.
3. Add a source with remote_home and remote_codex_home only when they differ from the provider defaults.
4. Test before syncing: ccam remote-sources test <id>.
5. Sync one source or all sources with ccam remote-sources sync [id].
6. Use ccam remote-sources update <id> --file patch.json --yes for edits.
7. Removal retains imported sessions by default. Purging them requires:

ccam remote-sources rm <id> --purge \
  --confirm PURGE_REMOTE_SOURCE_DATA

Always state whether imported data will be kept or deleted before removal.
