[BUG] Remote Control not enabled for Max 20x subscriber — two distinct errors

Bug description

Running claude remote-control on a Max 20x account produces two alternating errors depending on local GrowthBook cache state:

1. Default state: Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.

• Caused by tengu_ccr_bridge: false in cached GrowthBook features

1. After manually setting tengu_ccr_bridge: true: Error: Registration: Access denied (403): OAuth token does not meet scope requirement user:sessions:claude_code. Check your organization permissions.

• OAuth token includes user:sessions:claude_code in scopes, but server rejects it

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.79 (native build)
• OS: Windows 10/11
• Subscription: Max 20x ($200/mo), billingType: "stripe_subscription"
• Account email: alan.huang67@gmail.com
• Organization role: admin

Steps to reproduce

1. claude auth logout
2. claude /login → select option 1 (Claude account with subscription)
3. Complete OAuth flow in browser
4. claude remote-control
5. Result: Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.
6. Manually set tengu_ccr_bridge: true and hasAvailableSubscription: true in ~/.claude.json
7. claude remote-control
8. Result: Error: Registration: Access denied (403): OAuth token does not meet scope requirement user:sessions:claude_code.

Troubleshooting already attempted

• Fresh claude auth logout + /login (multiple times)
• Confirmed user:sessions:claude_code present in .credentials.json scopes
• Confirmed subscriptionType: "max" and rateLimitTier: "default_claude_max_20x"
• Checked for CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC and DISABLE_TELEMETRY env vars — neither set
• Attempted to clear Statsig cache (~/.claude/statsig/) — directory does not exist on this install
• Manually toggled tengu_ccr_bridge and hasAvailableSubscription — only changes which error is returned

Expected behavior

Remote Control should be available for Max plan subscribers per https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control
