What's Wrong?

When running /remote-control in Claude Code CLI, a session URL is
generated (https://claude.ai/code/session_XXXX). Opening that URL
immediately shows the error "This session could not be found. It may
have been deleted or you may not have access."

This happens both on desktop browser and on mobile (Claude app and
browser). The terminal shows the session as active, but the URL is
unreachable right after being generated.

What Should Happen?

The session URL generated by /remote-control should open successfully
in a browser or the Claude mobile app, allowing the user to continue
the session remotely.

Error Messages/Logs
