What's Wrong?

Title: Project not appearing on claude.ai/code despite remoteControlAtStartup: true and autoUploadSessions: true

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.119
• OS: Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200 (ARM64)
• Shell: Git Bash (bash)
• Entrypoints in use: cli and claude-desktop (both 2.1.119)

Settings (~/.claude/settings.json, all flags set before fresh launch)

{
  "skipAutoPermissionPrompt": true,
  "agentPushNotifEnabled": true,
  "remoteControlAtStartup": true,
  "inputNeededNotifEnabled": true,
  "autoUploadSessions": true
}

Repro

1. With prior session running, edit ~/.claude/settings.json to set the four flags above.
2. Quit Claude Code fully.
3. Relaunch (both claude-desktop and claude CLI tested, two separate processes).
4. Start work in a project directory, name session via /rename.
5. Open claude.ai/code in browser while logged in to the same Anthropic account.

Expected: Named project appears in the web UI's session list and is remote-controllable from phone/web.

Actual: Project does not appear on claude.ai/code. No error surfaced in the CLI.

Local state confirms session is live

• ~/.claude/sessions/<pid>.json shows the session with a sessionId, the chosen name, status: busy, version: 2.1.119.
• A second process (entrypoint claude-desktop, separate sessionId) is also active in the same cwd — neither shows up on the web.
• ~/.claude/.credentials.json present (logged in).
• ~/.claude/telemetry/ is empty — no upload-failure breadcrumbs.

Suspicion: Either the bridge/upload path is silently failing on Windows ARM64, or autoUploadSessions is gated on something not represented in settings. No user-visible error either way is the main bug.

What Should Happen?

Expected: Named project appears in the web UI's session list and is remote-controllable from phone/web.

Actual: Project does not appear on claude.ai/code. No error surfaced in the CLI.
