The two "Start an interactive session" tabs that describe the footer indicator (the Interactive session tab around line 78 and the /remote-control (/rc) command tab around line 96)
Current Documentation
As of v2.1.162, a Remote Control active indicator stays in the footer below the input box while Remote Control is connected. The indicator text is a link to the session on claude.ai, so you can reopen it from the terminal at any time.
As of v2.1.162, a Remote Control active indicator appears in the footer below the input box and stays visible while the connection is up. The indicator text is a link to the session on claude.ai.
What's Wrong or Missing?
The v2.1.172 release notes ship a change to the indicator itself:
Shortened the Remote Control footer indicator to "/rc active" and hid it on narrow terminals
Both paragraphs still quote the old "Remote Control active" wording. The narrow-terminal behavior is also undocumented.
Suggested Improvement
Update both paragraphs to:
As of v2.1.172, an /rc active indicator stays in the footer below the input box while Remote Control is connected. The indicator is hidden on terminals that are too narrow to display it cleanly. The indicator text is a link to the session on claude.ai, so you can reopen it from the terminal at any time.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
Additional Context
Version: v2.1.172. The min-version: 2.1.162 tag should be updated to 2.1.172 in both spots.
