Remote Control: local sessions unreachable from mobile unless the desktop app keeps them running

Local sessions with machine access should be reachable from mobile without keeping the desktop app babysitting — the running-process requirement (app open, machine awake, session started) makes Remote Control impractical for walk-away workflows. Walking away from the computer means losing access to the one chat I needed.
Desktop app on Windows 11, remoteControlAtStartup: true. The session I needed existed but was not running, so it never appeared on mobile until something woke it on the desktop side.
