[Feature Request] Lock permission dropdown in bypassPermissions mode to prevent accidental changes
Problem
When using claude remote-control --permission-mode bypassPermissions, the permission dropdown button ("Bypass permissions ⌄") is placed directly next to the text input area in both the desktop and mobile Claude apps.
It's very easy to accidentally click/tap on it while typing, which opens a menu with three options (Ask permissions / Auto accept edits / Plan mode). If you accidentally select one, the session loses bypassPermissions and there's no way to restore it without restarting the remote-control session.
This is especially frustrating on mobile where the tap target is close to the keyboard area.
Expected behavior
When a session is started with --permission-mode bypassPermissions, the permission dropdown should be locked/disabled so it cannot be accidentally changed. Or at minimum, add a confirmation dialog before downgrading from bypass mode.
Steps to reproduce
- Start
claude remote-control --name test --permission-mode bypassPermissions - Connect via Claude app (desktop or mobile)
- While typing in the input box, accidentally click/tap the "Bypass permissions" button
- Permission mode is silently downgraded — no way to restore without restarting
Suggested solutions (any of these would help)
- Disable/hide the dropdown when
bypassPermissionsis set via CLI - Add a confirmation dialog: "Are you sure you want to change permission mode?"
- Add a way to restore bypass mode from the UI without restarting
