Problem Statement
Problem: Remote control connection gets stuck in “Connecting” state. Only recovery is manual disconnect + restart, which requires physical access to the local machine — defeating the purpose of remote access.
Proposed Solution
Requested improvements:
- Auto-reconnect — automatically re-establish the connection instead of staying stuck
- Connection health status — expose state programmatically (Connected/Connecting/Disconnected/Processing) via a command, status file, or hook
- Status during long operations — show indicator when CLI is busy (e.g., compaction) so remote users can distinguish “busy” from “disconnected”
- Hook for state changes — enable custom recovery logic via hooks or /loop
