What's Wrong?

In the Claude Desktop app (macOS) with Remote Control active into a Claude Code CLI session running on a separate machine, typing /clear into the Remote Control input box triggers the autocomplete overlay to fuzzy-match it against Desktop's own known slash commands and force-correct it toward an unrelated match (in my case, /clear → /simplify). There is no way to keep the literal /clear text and submit it — the command never reaches the underlying CLI session at all. This appears related to #28379, #68102, and #68252, which describe recognized slash commands being routed to the model as plain text instead of executing — but this is a distinct, earlier-stage bug: the autocomplete UI prevents typing/submitting the literal command text in the first place, so it never even reaches the plain-text-fallback stage those issues describe.

What Should Happen?

Typing an unrecognized-but-valid-looking slash command — especially one the target CLI session supports, even if Desktop doesn't have it in its own command list — should be typeable and submittable as literal text, not silently coerced to a fuzzy autocomplete match.

Error Messages/Logs

None — no error is shown; the input is silently force-corrected in the UI.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Claude Desktop app on macOS.
2. Start/join a Remote Control session into a Claude Code CLI session running on a separate machine.
3. In the Remote Control input box, type /clear.

Observe: the autocomplete overlay fuzzy-matches this to an unrelated known command (/simplify in my case) and force-corrects the input toward that suggestion.

There is no way to submit the literal /clear text — it cannot reach the CLI session.
