What's Wrong?

claude remote-control returns Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account. on a personal Max subscription plan.

Steps taken:

1. Removed DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 and CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1 from ~/.claude/settings.json
2. Opened a new terminal (cmd.exe on Windows)
3. Ran set DISABLE_TELEMETRY= and set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC= to clear env vars
4. Ran claude auth logout then claude auth login (OAuth login successful)
5. Ran claude remote-control - still get the same error

Auth status confirms: loggedIn: true, authMethod: oauth_token, apiProvider: firstParty

This appears to be the server-side feature flag issue (tengu_ccr_bridge: false) described in #34528. The telemetry variables were the original cause per #29580, but removing them and re-authenticating does not resolve the issue.

What Should Happen?

Remote Control server should start successfully, displaying a session URL and QR code for mobile connection.
