Description
claude remote-control returns Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account. and the /remote-control slash command shows as Unknown command inside sessions. Everything on my end appears eligible per the changelog notes.
Reproduction
$ claude remote-control --help
Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.
Inside an interactive session:
> /remote-control
Unknown command: /remote-control
Environment
- CLI version:
2.1.112 (Claude Code) - Auth method:
claude.ai(firstParty) - Subscription:
max - Org ID:
abb12b6e-5f03-484b-a539-45c4089d61ce - Platform: Linux 6.17.0-35-generic

Expected
Since Max subscription + firstParty auth + recent CLI + no telemetry/provider overrides, Remote Control should be available (per changelog entries referencing /remote-control and claude remote-control).
Actual
Feature is gated off. Looks like a GrowthBook / backend rollout that hasn't reached this org yet.
Ask
Please enable the Remote Control feature flag for org \abb12b6e-5f03-484b-a539-45c4089d61ce\, or point me to the correct opt-in path if there's a manual toggle I've missed.
Thanks!
