Mobile app hides remote-control sessions until Claude GitHub App is installed; web banner stale after install

What's wrong:
With GitHub connected but the Claude GitHub App not installed, the Claude mobile app (Android) opened the Code tab straight into a "Select repository" flow and did not surface my connected remote-control sessions from the desktop app. Those sessions are local folders and don't need a GitHub repo.

After installing the GitHub App (All repositories, personal account) via "Install on GitHub" at claude.ai/code and reloading, the "Two steps to work in your repository" banner still showed step 2 unchecked, even though the repo picker listed my repos and github.com showed the app installed.

After a force-stop and restart, the mobile app now shows the remote-control sessions.

Expected:
Remote-control sessions should be visible regardless of GitHub App install state. The web banner should update once the app is installed.

Environment: Android, Claude app version [FILL IN], personal-account repos, remote control started from the Claude desktop app.
