Surface: Claude mobile app, Projects (beta), in a thread whose work runs as a Claude Code Remote Control session on a desktop machine. Observed 14 Oct 2026.

Steps to reproduce

  1. In a Project, start a thread backed by a Remote Control session on a laptop or desktop.
  2. Have that session call the AskUserQuestion tool.
  3. Open the thread in the Claude mobile app.

Expected
The question appears in the thread as a tappable card (as ask_decision cards do), or a typed reply in the thread answers or cancels it.

Actual

  • Nothing appears on mobile. The thread just looks idle.
  • Messages typed in the thread queue behind the pending question. A typed "yes" did not unblock it.
  • Other Claude sessions in the project can't unblock it either: send_message to the Remote Control session is refused, and message_thread is delivered but also queues.
  • Three sessions stayed blocked for about an hour, until the questions were answered from a desktop.

Impact
For anyone working mainly from a phone, every session that asks a question stalls silently until they reach a computer.
