What's Wrong?

When I run claude --teleport, it shows "Error loading Claude Code sessions" error and fails to load any remote sessions.

I have an active web session on claude.ai connected to the same repository (tgandur/obsidian-brain-vault). The local checkout is the same repo, clean git state, main branch.

The /bug command also fails with "Could not submit feedback. Please try again later." suggesting some API endpoints may be unreachable.

What Should Happen?

--teleport should list available web sessions and allow teleporting to them, as documented.
