[DOCS] --teleport flag is undocumented and hidden from --help

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

Section/Topic

CLI flags — claude --teleport

Current Documentation

--teleport does not appear in claude --help output, and I couldn't find it in the CLI command reference.

What's Wrong or Missing?

The one command that materializes a web/cloud session locally is effectively undiscoverable. --teleport is a real, recognized flag (a bogus flag prints error: unknown option; --teleport does not), but nothing surfaces it to users. I understand it may be intentionally hidden alongside other web-session flags — this is purely a discoverability request.

Suggested Improvement

List --teleport in claude --help and/or the CLI command reference (or cross-link it from the web-sessions docs), noting its key requirements: same-account authentication, and for a repo-backed session a clean checkout of that session's repo. Include the print-mode form claude -p --teleport <session-id> "<prompt>" for headless/programmatic use.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand

Additional Context

Discovered while building tooling to pull web/cloud sessions local for inspection; the flag had to be found by word of mouth.
