What's Wrong?

When i run cluade --remote-control in a github codepsace with the CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN environment set, i get the following warning

@ryandens ➜ /workspaces/foo (main) $ claude --remote-control
Remote Control is not enabled for your account; --rc flag ignored.
 ▐▛███▜▌   Claude Code v2.1.77
▝▜█████▛▘  Sonnet 4.6 · Claude API

──────────────────────────────────

However, on my laptop, the same version works fine

both are connected to my Claude Team account, but as reported by many other poeple the /status command does not work properly with CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN

What Should Happen?

I should be able to start claude with remote control on my Claude team account
