What's Wrong?

The /config command exits instantly with "Config dialog dismissed" without displaying any interactive menu or options.

Environment:

• Claude Code version: 2.1.76
• OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
• Terminals tested: Terminal.app, [autre terminal]
• Shell: zsh

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch claude (or claude --remote-control)
2. Type /config
3. Dialog is immediately dismissed — no UI appears

Expected behavior:
An interactive dialog should appear allowing to toggle settings (e.g., "Enable Remote Control for all sessions").

Actual behavior:
Output is just Config dialog dismissed with no interaction possible.

Workaround:
None found — settings.json can be edited manually but preferRemoteControl is not a valid schema field, so Remote Control must be enabled via --remote-control flag each time.
