What's Wrong?

Description

The Remote Control connection status indicator (shown as "Connected"/"Disconnected" text with an icon, as documented at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control) works correctly on the mobile app, but is missing entirely on both the desktop app and the web version (claude.ai/code), even when a session is actively connected via Remote Control.

Expected behavior

The "Recents" list should show, for each session, whether it's currently Connected or Disconnected via Remote Control — consistent across mobile, desktop, and web.

Actual behavior

• Mobile app: shows "Connected • Remote control" (green) / "Disconnected • Remote control" (gray) clearly for each session.
• Desktop app: no connection status text/icon shown next to sessions in the Recents list, even though one session is actively connected via Remote Control.
• Web (claude.ai/code, browser): same as desktop — no status indicator shown at all.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start a Claude Code CLI session and connect it via /remote-control.
2. Open the Recents list on: (a) mobile app, (b) desktop app, (c) web browser at claude.ai/code.
3. Compare how each platform indicates the connected session.

Environment

• Claude Code CLI version: 2.1.202
• Platform: Linux (CLI host)
• Observed on: desktop app and web browser (claude.ai/code)

Attachments

• Screenshot 1: mobile app showing correct Connected/Disconnected labels
• Screenshot 2: web browser Recents list — no indicator
• Screenshot 3: desktop app Recents list — no indicator

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should show a consistent Remote Control connection status indicator (e.g. "Connected" / "Disconnected") for each session in the Recents list — matching what's already shown correctly on the mobile app and documented at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a Claude Code CLI session and connect it via /remote-control (or enable it globally via /config → "Enable Remote Control for all sessions").
2. Open the session list ("Recents") on each of: (a) the mobile app, (b) the Desktop app, (c) claude.ai/code in a web browser.
3. Compare how each platform indicates that the session is currently connected via Remote Control.
4. Mobile shows a clear "Connected"/"Disconnected" label; Desktop app and web show nothing.

Additional Information

Remote Control connection status indicator ("Connected"/"Disconnected") works correctly on the mobile app, but is completely missing on both the Desktop app and the web version (claude.ai/code) — even while a session is actively connected via Remote Control.

On mobile, each session in the Recents list shows "Connected • Remote control" (green) or "Disconnected • Remote control" (gray), as documented at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control.

On Desktop app and web, no such indicator appears at all next to sessions in the Recents list. (Note: the Desktop app shows a small blinking dot next to the active session, but that turned out to be the "model is thinking" indicator, unrelated to Remote Control connection status.)

Screenshots attached:

1. Mobile app — correct Connected/Disconnected labels
2. Web browser (claude.ai/code) — Recents list with no status indicator
3. Desktop app — Recents list with no status indicator
