What's Wrong?

When using Remote Control (local CLI session bridged to the Claude Android app), the session worked correctly for several turns — I received multiple permission prompts on the Android app and confirmed each one without issue. After several successful confirmations, the session stalled: the Android app shows the session as still connected, but new prompts produce no response and no tool activity. I suspect a permission prompt or similar interactive state is sitting on the local terminal without being relayed to the remote interface, but I cannot verify this because I am away from the machine.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a Remote Control session on the local machine in Terminal (claude --remote-control or /remote-control).
  2. Connect from the Claude Android app.
  3. Send prompts from Android that trigger permission confirmations. Approve each one as it arrives.
  4. After several successful confirmation round-trips, the session stops responding to new prompts from the Android client.

Expected Behavior

The remote interface should continue to relay prompts and confirmations indefinitely, or surface a clear error / terminated-session state if the bridge is broken.

Actual Behavior

Android app appears connected but unresponsive to new input. No error message, no indication of whether a local prompt is pending or the session has crashed.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: latest (will update with exact claude --version output)
  • Local client: Terminal CLI
  • OS: macOS 15 (Sequoia)
  • Hardware: MacBook Pro
  • Remote client: Claude Android app
  • Plan: [Pro / Max]

Additional Context

No --dangerously-skip-permissions flag in use. Session was not in plan mode at the time of the stall. Happy to provide logs or reproduce on request.

What Should Happen?

Remote control client should always show all messages from desktop
