[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):

  1. CLI flag: claude --remote-control to start with remote control enabled
  2. Settings option: "remoteControlEnabled": true in settings.json
  3. Make it work with SessionStart hook - currently hooks can only run shell commands, so there's no way to invoke /remote-control from 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.
