[BUG] Model setting shows different value between desktop CLI and iOS remote session

Description
When using Claude Code with Remote Control enabled, the model setting displayed in the iOS app differs from what is set in the desktop CLI session.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start a Claude Code session on desktop CLI with a specific model (e.g. Sonnet 4.6 via
/model sonnet) - Connect to the same session via Remote Control on iOS (Claude mobile app)
- Run
/modelon iOS
Expected Behavior
Both clients show the same model — the one actually running the session.
Actual Behavior
Desktop CLI shows Sonnet 4.6, iOS remote session shows Opus (or vice versa). The two clients display different model values for the same session.
Impact
Confusing — it's unclear which model is actually being used. Makes it impossible to verify or change the model reliably from a remote client.
Environment
- Claude Code CLI (Windows desktop)
- iOS Claude app (Remote Control session)
