What's Wrong?

Two related issues on Claude Pro plan:

  1. Cowork Dispatch returns: Failed to authenticate. API Error: 403 {"error":{"type":"forbidden","message":"Request not allowed"}}
  1. Claude Code Remote Control returns: Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.

Regular Chat works fine on the same account.

What Should Happen?

Both Dispatch and Remote Control should work for Pro plan subscribers as stated in the official documentation.
