remote.enableRemoteControlForAllSessions does not auto-connect sessions for remote control

Bug Description

The setting remote.enableRemoteControlForAllSessions: true in settings.json does not automatically make sessions visible in the Claude app (mobile/web) for remote control.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add the following to ~/.claude/settings.json:

``json
"remote": {
"enableRemoteControlForAllSessions": true
}
``

1. Start a new Claude Code session
2. Open the Claude app (mobile or web) and look for the session

Expected Behavior

The session should automatically appear in the Claude app for remote control, without any additional steps.

Actual Behavior

The session does not appear in the Claude app. It only becomes visible after manually running /remote-control inside the session.

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.96
• OS: Linux (Ubuntu)
• Auth: OAuth (Claude Max subscription)

Notes

• There is no CLI flag (e.g. --remote-control) to auto-enable this at session start either
• The setting name strongly implies it should enable remote control automatically for all sessions
• Workaround: manually run /remote-control in each session
