What's Wrong?

On the Claude iOS app, the composer for a Code session shows the model selector (Opus 5) but no permission mode selector. The documented behaviour is that a mode dropdown is available on mobile — cloud sessions offering Accept edits / Plan / Auto, Remote Control sessions offering Manual — but no such control is present in the composer.

Observed with a task in flight: the composer collapses to Add feedback… with a + button, the model selector, mic, and stop button. There is no mode control in that row or behind the +.

Impact

Mode is not visible or changeable from mobile, so there is no way to tell which mode a session is in or to switch (e.g. into Plan for read-only analysis) without going back to the host machine. That defeats the point of steering a session from a phone.

Environment
Claude iOS app version: v1.260828,1 (33349478298)
Max Plan

What Should Happen?

A permission mode selector is reachable from the composer, showing the modes documented for this session type.

Actual

Only the model selector is present. Permission mode cannot be viewed or changed from the app.
