Problem Statement

Summary

When an Ultraplan session is active, ALL Remote Control connections are
disconnected — including sessions that were already running and are merely
being monitored passively from a mobile device.

Current Behavior

Starting an Ultraplan session disconnects any active Remote Control session
immediately and permanently, with no way to reconnect until Ultraplan ends.

Expected Behavior

Ultraplan should block opening new Remote Control sessions, but allow
read-only monitoring of already-running sessions to continue.

Why This Matters

Monitoring an existing session consumes zero additional tokens. The user is
not initiating new work — they are simply observing a task already in
progress. Cutting the connection forces users to physically remain at their
workstation (or carry a laptop to bed) just to watch a long-running job,
even though that observation produces no extra load whatsoever.

Environment

Claude Code with Remote Control enabled
Claude mobile app (Android)
Max Plan / Ultraplan
Windows 11, PowerShell

Proposed Solution

Proposed Fix

Introduce a distinction between:

Active Remote Control (sending prompts, creating new turns) → block

during Ultraplan ✅ reasonable

Passive monitoring (read-only view of ongoing session) → should remain

allowed during Ultraplan

Alternative Solutions

_No response_

Priority

High - Significant impact on productivity

Feature Category

Interactive mode (TUI)

Use Case Example

Concrete Use Case

User starts a long-running Claude Code session (e.g. Opus 4.8, 1M context)
User connects via Claude mobile app to monitor progress remotely
Ultraplan kicks in → mobile connection is severed
User has no way to check on the session without returning to the PC
