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
- Start a Remote Control session (
/rc) on desktop. - Open the conversation on the iOS Claude app.
- Switch the permission mode to accept edits on the iOS app.
- 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.
