Remote Control sessions disappear from sidebar after CLI exits (v2.1.89 regression)

Description

Remote Control sessions no longer persist in the sidebar (desktop app, iOS, web "Code" section) after the CLI process exits. Sessions appear in the sidebar while the CLI is running, but vanish once it ends.

This is a regression — sessions used to remain visible in the sidebar after ending, allowing review across devices.

When it broke

Monday March 30 evening (GMT). Coincides with v2.1.89 release. Worked correctly on v2.1.87 and earlier.

Reproduction

1. Start a Claude Code CLI session with claude --name remote-session (or any remote-control session)
2. Open claude.ai or the desktop/iOS app — session appears in the "Code" section sidebar
3. End the CLI session (kill the process or /exit)
4. Session immediately disappears from the sidebar on all devices

Expected behavior

Session should remain in the sidebar after the CLI exits, as it did prior to v2.1.89.

Environment

• CLI version: 2.1.90
• macOS (Darwin 25.4.0)
• Affects: Desktop app, iOS app, and claude.ai web — all in the "Code" section
• Local JSONL transcript files are intact — the issue is purely cloud-side/sidebar indexing

Possibly related

The v2.1.89/v2.1.90 changelog mentions: "Changed --resume picker to no longer show sessions created by claude -p or SDK invocations." Remote-control sessions may now be incorrectly classified and filtered out.
