Remote-control sessions (claude.ai/code) lost native Task tools on 2026-07-21; local CLI sessions unaffected

Environment: Claude Code 2.1.216 (native install, darwin-arm64), auto-updated 2026-07-20. Session driven via claude.ai/code Remote Control.

Bug: As of 2026-07-21, remote-control sessions expose no native task tools — ToolSearch finds no TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, or TodoWrite (TaskOutput/TaskStop still present). The identity/todo pin UI never renders. Multiple independent sessions on the same machine hit this the same day.

Repro:

  1. Start a session from claude.ai/code Remote Control → ask the model to create a todo → it has no Task tools.
  2. Start a plain local claude terminal session, same binary → TaskCreate, TaskGet, TaskList, TaskOutput, TaskStop, TaskUpdate all available (verified via headless -p on both 2.1.215 and 2.1.216).

Expected: Same task-tool surface in remote sessions as local ones (worked until 2026-07-20).

Notes: claude doctor clean; no settings.json permission denies; CHANGELOG 2.1.200–2.1.216 silent on task tools — appears to be a server-side tool-surface change for remote sessions.
