What's Wrong?

claude remote-control fails immediately with a node error. The command exits with "Session failed" and node reports --sdk-url as a bad option.

What Should Happen?

A remote control session should start and display a QR code or URL to connect from another device.

Additional Information

• Node.js version: v22.22.0 (via nvm)
• Tried with both /usr/local/bin/node (v20.9.0) and nvm node v22.22.0 - same error
• Pro plan subscriber
• It appears node is being called with --sdk-url as a node flag rather than as a script argument
