Remote Control on a personal Mac: no supported way to start a real, independently-tracked session

I wanted a running Claude Code session on my own Mac to be reachable from my phone via Remote Control while I'm away.
The blocker: there's no tool letting Claude write to my terminal (only read it), and spawning a new claude --remote-control process from within an existing session gets flagged by the safety classifier as spawning an untracked child agent — even with explicit on-machine owner authorization.
I understand the reasoning (don't let a session spin up unsupervised copies of itself), but as a user this meant a 10-second task I'd fully authorized couldn't happen without me manually typing it myself.
Would like either:
- A supported "start a real, independently-tracked session" primitive Claude can invoke with explicit user confirmation, or
- A documented recommended workflow for this exact use case (mobile access to a Mac-resident session).
