What's Wrong?
Title: claude remote-control fails on Windows — bad option: --sdk-url
Description:
Running claude remote-control on Windows fails immediately with:
[18:01:11] Session failed: C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe: bad option: --sdk-url session_01FWLTNJKv7h3YDcqoFfM9XS
[18:01:11] To reconnect: claude --resume session_01FWLTNJKv7h3YDcqoFfM9XS
Node.js is receiving --sdk-url as a Node.js flag instead of as a script argument. The spawn call appears to be constructing node.exe --sdk-url <session> instead of node.exe claude.js --sdk-url <session>.
Environment:
Claude Code: 2.1.63
Node.js: v24.5.0
OS: Windows 11
Shell: Git Bash (bash.exe)
Plan: Max
Steps to reproduce:
cd to any trusted project directory
Run claude remote-control
Session immediately fails with above error
What Should Happen?
Running claude remote-control should display a QR code and a URL
(https://claude.ai/remote/session_xxx) in the terminal, allowing the
user to connect to the session from a mobile device via browser.
