When I approve a permission prompt from the mobile app (Claude Code on iOS/Android) while the terminal session is running on my PC, the permission dialog gets dismissed in the terminal window but the chat doesn't actually receive the approval. It just sits there stuck — no error, no retry, nothing. I have to manually intervene on the PC to get it going again.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start a Claude Code session in terminal on PC
- Open the same session on mobile app
- Wait for a permission prompt (e.g. Bash command approval)
- Approve it from the mobile app
- Observe: terminal prompt disappears but the chat hangs — the approved command never runs
Expected: Chat continues and runs the approved command.
Actual: Permission prompt disappears from terminal but the session is stuck. The approval doesn't reach the underlying process.
Environment:
- Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200)
- Claude Code terminal session
- Mobile app (iOS) approving remotely
Happens consistently — not a one-off. Makes remote approval essentially unusable for anything other than simple read operations where I can just restart if it gets stuck.
