Remote Control: timestamp system-reminder wraps to multiple lines in terminal
Resolved 💬 0 comments Opened Jun 14, 2026 by 79fpxxdzyz Closed Jun 14, 2026
Summary
When using Remote Control (mobile Claude app → CLI session), every incoming message is prefixed with a <system-reminder>Message sent at ... UTC.</system-reminder> block. In the terminal this renders across two lines, consuming extra vertical space.
Steps to reproduce
- Start a Claude Code CLI session.
- Connect via
/remote-control. - Send any message from the Claude mobile app.
- Observe the terminal prompt area.
Observed behavior
❯ <system-reminder>Message sent at Sun 2026-06-14 13:45:23
UTC.</system-reminder>
Hello from mobile
The timestamp block wraps mid-content, so the user message starts on line 3 instead of line 1.
Expected behavior
Either:
- The timestamp renders as a single line (no wrap), or
- It is hidden from the terminal display entirely (it is already visible to the model as a
system-remindertag — it does not need to be echoed in the prompt area)
