[BUG] Running prompt with --remote-control order

What's Wrong?
When running claude "<prompt>" --remote-control (or --rc), Claude executes the
prompt in print/non-interactive mode first, and only then opens the Remote Control
session. This means the initial prompt runs before the RC URL/QR code is displayed,
so you can't see the initial prompt on another devices when the response comes in.
What Should Happen?
Remote Control session should start first (showing the URL/QR code), then the prompt
should be handled within that RC session — so it's visible on connected remote devices.
If user asked for remote control it doesn't make sense to exclude the initial prompt from the session history on other devices.
