Description
When using the Remote Control feature (/rc or claude remote-control), the remote session on mobile browser disconnects frequently. The session requires manual page refresh to reconnect, sometimes multiple times during a single session.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start a Claude Code session on desktop
- Run
/rcto start remote control - Open the provided URL on a mobile device browser
- Use the session for a few minutes
- The connection drops — the page becomes unresponsive
Expected Behavior
The remote session should maintain a stable persistent connection without requiring frequent page refreshes.
Actual Behavior
The remote session disconnects multiple times, requiring the user to manually refresh the browser page to reconnect.
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 Pro
- Plan: Pro/Max
- Browser: Mobile browser (Chrome)
- Network: Stable internet connection on both devices
Notes
- Computer does not go to sleep during the session
- Internet connection is stable on both ends
- No VPN or firewall interference
- Refreshing the page does reconnect successfully, but it disconnects again shortly after
