Remote-control session list in claude.ai/code app shows far fewer entries than sessions actually registered

Running Claude Code v2.1.212 on Ubuntu (headless server, always invoked from the same working directory, /home/rex). Every session start uses --remote-control (aliased as cc/ccr/ccc for new/resume/continue respectively).

Each invocation prints a successful pairing confirmation with a unique session URL, e.g.:

/remote-control is active · Continue here, on your phone, or at
https://claude.ai/code/session_01W2Nvjec56AbQvjFETQZGz6

The local claude -r resume picker confirms 50 registered sessions exist for this project, many started fresh (no -r/-c) within the last 1-2 days.

However, the claude.ai/code app's session list (mobile) only ever shows 3 entries total — 2 "Connected" and 1 "Disconnected" from 2 days ago — despite dozens of successful local registrations with confirmed unique session URLs in that window.

Since each session's direct URL (https://claude.ai/code/session_...) works even when the session isn't visible in the list, this looks like a list-rendering/retention bug rather than a registration failure — the sessions clearly exist server-side but aren't surfacing.

Expected: the app's session list reflects all recently-active/recently-registered remote-control sessions, or at minimum a reasonably complete recent history.

Actual: only 3 of 50+ registered sessions appear.
