What's Wrong?

Push notifications from Claude Code are not being delivered to the iPhone even though the Remote Control session shows as "Connected" in the app. The system confirms "Mobile push requested" on the terminal side, but no notification arrives on the device.

Environment

• Device: iPhone 11 (MHDH3BR/A)
• iOS Version: 18.6.2
• Claude app: background (not force-closed)
• Remote Control status: Connected (green indicator visible in app)

iOS Notification Settings

• Permitir Notificações: ✔️ enabled
• Lock Screen, Notification Center, Banners: ✔️ all enabled
• Sounds: ✔️ enabled
• Badges: ✔️ enabled

What Should Happen?

A push notification should appear on the iPhone when "Mobile push requested" is returned.

Steps to Reproduce

Configure settings.local.json with:

{
  "hooks": {
    "Notification": [
      {
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "jq -r '.message // \"Claude Code\"' | xargs -I {} notify-send \"Claude Code\" \"{}\" 2>/dev/null || true",
            "statusMessage": "Enviando notificação..."
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "agentPushNotifEnabled": true,
  "inputNeededNotifEnabled": true,
  "preferredNotifChannel": "auto"
}

Then:

1. Open Claude Code CLI and start a Remote Control session (/remote-control)
2. Open Claude app on iPhone and confirm session shows "Connected"
3. Send app to background (do not force-close)
4. Trigger a PushNotification from the CLI session
5. Terminal shows: Terminal notification sent. Mobile push requested.
6. No notification appears on iPhone (lock screen, banner, or notification center)
