Bug Description

Two usability issues in the Trusted devices UI (Settings → Trusted devices), found while
trying to determine whether a device listed on my account was mine.

1. Device rows are not identifiable

Entries render as Electron on Windows · Helsinki with only a date (Added Aug 20, 2026).
Two identical rows appeared with the same label and date. From that view alone it is
impossible to tell:

  • which application registered the device (Claude Desktop? Claude Code? something else?)
  • the registration IP or approximate source
  • the exact timestamp
  • why there are two rows instead of one

Determining that these rows corresponded to my own Claude Desktop install required
correlating local firewall logs (~670k lines) against installed application version
directories. That is not a reasonable burden for a security-relevant settings page.

Suggested fix: show app name + version, exact timestamp, and registration IP or
coarse source on each row. This is the same information other services show in their
"active sessions" views.

2. Remote Control state was not clearly surfaced

Remote Control appeared to be enabled without a recollection of enabling it. If it can be
enabled implicitly (e.g. during install or update), that should be stated explicitly at the
point it happens, and be visible in the settings page with a timestamp of when and by what.

Environment Info

  • Platform: win32
  • Terminal: windows-terminal
  • Version: 2.1.238
  • Feedback ID: d3bc04ff-9e39-4d0a-9b87-514ae0fe276d

3. Minor: issue title was auto-populated with model output

The title of this issue as originally filed contained assistant response text rather than a
title, suggesting the /bug flow can pick up model output into the title field.
