Sessions archive/drop unexpectedly and scheduled tasks don't sync to iOS remote control

Summary

Two related symptoms with the remote-control feature:

1. Scheduled/local tasks that run correctly on the desktop app do not appear in the iOS remote-control app.
2. Existing sessions get archived or dropped unexpectedly when using remote control, which is disruptive to ongoing work.

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.110.0
• macOS 14.8.9 (build 23J631)
• Claude Code desktop app (Code tab), remote control enabled (remoteControlAtStartup: true)

Reproduction / evidence

• Scheduled tasks: 8 tasks are registered locally (via the scheduled-tasks system) and run correctly on schedule with recent lastRunAt timestamps (e.g. daily commit-queue reminder, weekly improvements review). None of these show up in the iOS remote-control view.
• Session archiving: sessions have been observed archiving/dropping unexpectedly during normal use.
• Ruled out local causes: a third-party Claude Code hook tool (running background daemons that periodically restart sessions to manage context) was fully disabled for 2 days (all hooks removed from ~/.claude/settings.json, all its background processes killed) and the archiving/dropping issue still occurred. This rules out local hook/automation interference as the cause.
• This has been observed intermittently over roughly two weeks (first noticed ~2026-09-05, still occurring as of 2026-09-16).

Expected behavior

• Scheduled tasks registered on desktop should be visible in the iOS remote-control app.
• Sessions should not be archived or dropped without explicit user action.
