Remote Control sessions don't appear in mobile app until session URL is opened manually

Bug Description

When Enable Remote Control for all sessions is set to true via /config, new Claude Code CLI sessions show /remote-control is active and display a session URL in the terminal. However, these sessions do not appear in the Claude mobile app (iOS) session list automatically.

The session only appears in the mobile app after manually navigating to the session URL (e.g. https://claude.ai/code/session_...).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code CLI on a remote server (via SSH)
  2. Run /config → set Enable Remote Control for all sessions = true
  3. Start a new session with claude
  4. Terminal shows: /remote-control is active. Code in CLI or at https://claude.ai/code/session_...
  5. Open Claude mobile app → "Code" tab
  6. Session is NOT listed — even after pull-to-refresh and app restart
  7. Open the session URL manually in browser
  8. Now the session appears in the mobile app

Expected Behavior

Sessions should automatically appear in the mobile app's "Code" tab upon launch, without requiring the user to open the URL manually.

Environment

  • Claude Code: 2.1.66–2.1.68
  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04 (Linux 6.8.0-90-generic x86_64)
  • Connection: SSH to remote Hetzner server
  • Mobile: Claude iOS app (latest, March 2026)
