Problem Statement

Currently, Remote Control only connects to sessions that were already
started locally on each machine. Machines with the desktop app running
(and "enable remote control by default" active) are NOT visible from
other devices, and no session can be started or ended remotely.

Request: any machine running the Claude desktop app (with remote enabled)
should appear on all devices logged into the same account — mobile, web,
desktop — as a target where I can start new sessions, end sessions, and
pick project/branch remotely.

For comparison: OpenAI Codex already does this. From my Mac I see all
4 running Codex apps on my 4 Windows machines and can fully control
each of them, or choose to work in the cloud instead.

Use case: ~800k LOC spread across multiple repos, branches, machines and
3 git accounts. Unpushed work-in-progress lives on the machines, so
cloud-only sessions cannot replace local control.

Proposed Solution

look at codex!!!!!
