Description
claude remote-control (subcommand mode) always fails with "Workspace not trusted" error, even though the same directory is already trusted and works fine in interactive mode.
Steps to Reproduce
In the same directory (C:\Users\bossvibe):
- Run
claude→ enters interactive session successfully (workspace is trusted) - Inside the session, run
/remote-control→ works fine ✅ - Exit the session
- Run
claude remote-control --name "home"→ fails ❌
Expected Behavior
claude remote-control should recognize the workspace as trusted, since claude (interactive mode) already trusts it.
Actual Behavior
C:\Users\bossvibe>claude remote-control --name "home"
Error: Workspace not trusted. Please run `claude` in C:\Users\bossvibe first to review and accept the workspace trust dialog.
Additional Context
claudein the same directory works — no trust prompt/remote-controlinside an interactive session worksclaude --remote-controlalso works- Only the
claude remote-controlsubcommand fails - Issue persists after multiple re-trust attempts
Environment
