[BUG] remote-control fails: bridge spawns node with missing script path
Preflight Checklist

What's Wrong?
When running claude remote-control, the bridge successfully registers with
the Anthropic API and creates a session, but then fails immediately when
spawning the local claude subprocess. The bridge passes CLI flags directly
to node as node arguments, without including the path to cli.js. This causes
node to reject --sdk-url as an unrecognized option and exit with code 9.
What Should Happen?
The bridge should spawn the subprocess as:
node /path/to/cli.js --print --sdk-url wss://... --session-id ...
Instead it is spawning:
node --print --sdk-url wss://... --session-id ...
The script path (cli.js) is missing from the spawn call in bridgeMain.
