What's Wrong?

In the Windows desktop app, disconnecting Remote Control via /remote-control shows
an error, even though the disconnect itself actually succeeds. The Remote Control
toggle/icon in the session header then stays ON (stale UI state) until the session
tab is closed and reopened.

What Should Happen?

Disconnect completes without an error and the toggle immediately reflects the
actual (disconnected) state.

Error Messages/Logs

Remote Control failed to disconnect: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'session_url')

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Claude Desktop app 1.22209.0.0 (Microsoft Store / MSIX) on Windows 11.
  2. In a desktop app session, enable Remote Control and connect from the Claude

mobile app (the session works fine from mobile).

  1. Back on desktop, run /remote-control in the session to disconnect.
  2. The error above is shown.

Observed state afterwards:

  • The mobile app immediately shows the session as no longer connectable,

so the disconnect actually succeeded.

  • The Remote Control toggle in the desktop session header remains ON until

the session tab is reopened.

Note: the global "Enable remote control by default" setting is OFF; the
connection was established explicitly for this session.
