What's Wrong?

Any attempt to use a slash command during a remote-control session, either directly in the local CLI or from the remote controller, results in Claude not recognizing the command and responding to it as if it was a prompt.

What Should Happen?

Slash commands ('/') should function normally during remote control sessions and get invoked in the local CLI.
