Permission-mode changes don't sync reliably between the iOS app and terminal in Remote Control

Permission-mode changes don't sync reliably between the iOS Claude app and the local terminal in a Remote Control session: "accept edits" selected on the phone doesn't apply in the terminal, and mode changes made in the terminal never reach the phone at all.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start a Remote Control session (/rc) on desktop.
  2. Open the conversation on the iOS Claude app.
  3. Switch the permission mode to accept edits on the iOS app.
  4. Separately, switch the permission mode in the terminal (e.g. with Shift+Tab).

Expected behavior

Permission-mode changes sync both ways: selecting a mode on the phone updates the terminal, and selecting a mode in the terminal updates the phone.

Actual behavior

  • iOS → terminal, accept edits: switching to accept edits on the phone does not switch the terminal to accept edits.
  • iOS → terminal, auto mode: switching to auto on the phone does switch the terminal. So the sync exists but is incomplete across modes.
  • Terminal → iOS (any mode): changing the mode in the terminal is never reflected on the phone. The sync only works one way.

Claude Code version: 2.1.195
