remoteControlAtStartup: true in settings.json does not auto-enable remote control on new sessions

Bug Report

Description

Setting remoteControlAtStartup: true in ~/.claude/settings.json does not automatically enable remote control when a new session starts. The session does not appear in the Claude mobile app (iPhone) until the user manually runs /remote-control inside the session.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add "remoteControlAtStartup": true to ~/.claude/settings.json
2. Restart the Claude Code desktop app
3. Open a new session
4. Check the Claude mobile app — session does not appear in the session list

Expected Behavior

Remote control should be automatically enabled on session startup, and the session should appear in the Claude mobile app immediately without any manual intervention.

Actual Behavior

Remote control is not automatically enabled. User must manually run /remote-control inside the session each time to make it appear in the mobile app.

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.123
• OS: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200
• Platform: Desktop app
• Mobile app: Claude for iPhone

Workaround

Manually run /remote-control after each new session starts.
