remote-control fails with 'Unknown argument: <UUID>'

Resolved 💬 7 comments Opened Mar 18, 2026 by ykessler Closed May 5, 2026

Running claude remote-control on v2.1.78 (macOS) fails every time with a random UUID error:

$ claude remote-control
Error: Unknown argument: a3637d7d-bbd5-415b-b7d4-6440d882a833
Run 'claude remote-control --help' for usage.

The UUID changes on each invocation. No additional flags passed. claude remote-control --help works fine and shows no options beyond -h, --help.

Environment:

  • Claude Code v2.1.78
  • macOS (Darwin 25.2.0)
  • Apple Silicon (MacBook Air)
