What happened
Let projects pre-approve device connection for new threads

Product: Claude Projects (claude.ai) with Claude Code cloud threads + Remote Control on my Mac
What happens:
Almost every new cloud thread in my project shows the card "Allow Claude to connect to your device in this thread" (Deny / Allow). I have to approve it again in each thread, many times a day. Several times the card spun or the thread then reported it "couldn't link your Mac to this thread" even after I allowed it.
Why it's a problem:
My Mac's folders are already approved for this project (Remote Control sessions started from the project chat open with no card). The per-thread card adds friction without adding safety, and threads sit blocked until I notice and click it.
What I'd like:

  1. A project setting: "New threads may connect to my approved devices/folders without asking" (with the folder list as the boundary).
  2. Or at least "remember for this project" on the card.
  3. If the connection fails after Allow, the card should say so clearly instead of spinning.

Environment: Claude desktop/iOS app, private project, Mac "studio" with Remote Control, model Opus 5.5.
