What's Wrong?
Running claude remote-control immediately fails. The --sdk-url flag is being passed as a Node.js CLI argument instead of an application argument, causing Node to reject it.
What Should Happen?
claude remote-control should start a remote control session, display a session URL and QR code, and wait for remote connections.
