What's Wrong?

Claude Code version: v2.1.63
Node version: v24.13.0
macOS version: Darwin 25.3.0
I have tried to connect to Cloud Remote Control with multiple different ways and none of them have functioned or worked.

What Should Happen?

When I type in remote control or RC it should connect me and give me a QR code so that I can actually run it on my phone.
