Remote Control no longer available — was previously working

Description
/remote-control is no longer available. It was previously working on this account and has stopped without any communication or changelog notice.
Steps to reproduce
- Inside a Claude Code session, type
/remote-control→ returns "Unknown skill: remote-control" (command doesn't appear in the skill list at all) - From the terminal, run
claude remote-control→ returns:
Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.
Assertion failed: !(handle->flags & UV_HANDLE_CLOSING), file src\win\async.c, line 76
Expected behaviour
Remote Control should work as it did previously. This account has been using Remote Control regularly — this is not a first-time setup issue.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.85
- Platform: Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200)
- Shell: bash
- Plan: Individual (Pro) — same plan as when Remote Control was working
- Auth: claude.ai OAuth (not API key)
Additional context
- No changes were made to authentication, plan, or settings between the last successful use and this failure.
- The
UV_HANDLE_CLOSINGassertion failure in the error output suggests a possible Windows-specific regression in addition to the feature flag issue.
