[Feature Request] Auto-enable remote control on session start

Feature Request
Add a way to automatically enable remote control (/remote-control) when a Claude Code session starts, without having to manually run the slash command every time.
Suggested implementations (any of these would work):
- CLI flag:
claude --remote-controlto start with remote control enabled - Settings option:
"remoteControlEnabled": trueinsettings.json - Make it work with SessionStart hook - currently hooks can only run shell commands, so there's no way to invoke
/remote-controlfrom a hook
Use case
Users who always want remote control active shouldn't need to manually type /remote-control at the beginning of every session. This is especially relevant for workflows that depend on remote triggers/control.
Current workaround
None — /remote-control must be manually invoked each session.
