[BUG] Remote Control: slash commands (incl. built-in /clear) sent as plain text since the desktop "click-to-select skill" change

What's Wrong?

Over Remote Control (controlling a Claude Desktop app session from the Claude mobile app), slash commands and skills are no longer invoked — they're sent to the model as plain text. This includes built-ins: even /clear does nothing. It's accepted as a normal chat message with no error.

This began at the same time as a change in the desktop app. Typed commands/skills used to be invoked automatically on Enter. Now the desktop app requires me to click the entry in the suggestion menu to actually run it (the name highlights / "goes blue"). The menu still appears on typing, so recognition works — but typing + Enter alone no longer fires the command; a click is required. Since that desktop change appeared, Remote Control lost the ability to invoke any command or skill at all (the mobile input has no menu and no tap-to-select).

Impact: built-in session commands like /clear can't be run remotely, and custom plugin commands/skills can't be invoked or tested over Remote Control.

What Should Happen?

Typing a slash command or skill name in remote control and pressing Enter should invoke it as a command — on the desktop app (as it did before the change, two days ago) and over Remote Control.

Error Messages/Logs

No error shown. The slash command is silently accepted as a normal chat message in remote control — nothing executes, no feedback appears.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a Claude Code session in the Claude Desktop app (Windows) and connect Remote Control from the Claude mobile app.
2. From the mobile app, type /clear in the input and send.
3. Observe: the conversation is not cleared; /clear is treated as a plain chat message, no error.
4. Same for any other slash command or skill (including custom plugin commands) — none are invoked.
5. For contrast, on the desktop app the same command only runs if you first click its entry in the suggestion menu; typing + Enter alone no longer triggers it.
