[Bug] Remote Control startup fails with stale Statsig cache

Bug Description

Remote Control fails at startup with stale Statsig cache

remoteControlAtStartup: true causes "Session creation failed — see debug log" on every session start. Root cause: Statsig feature flag cache
(~/.claude/statsig.*) was frozen from v2.1.22 (Jan 30) and never refreshed through updates to v2.1.104. Running /login fixed it (likely triggers Statsig
re-init).

Two sub-issues:

  1. Statsig cache doesn't auto-refresh across version updates — stale gate values silently block Remote Control
  2. "See debug log" points to ~/.claude/debug/latest which is a dangling symlink — no actionable diagnostic exists
