Remote Control refuses to mint a fresh session when reattach is required

Not switched on
Useful2 Signal2
Remote Control

Remote Control can now fail loudly instead of silently starting a new session when it can't reattach.

Reattach-or-fail behaviour exists with distinct telemetry, but whether that mode is enabled couldn't be determined from the build.

What

When init runs in reattach-or-fail mode, a reattach pointer that is gone (or absent entirely) now fails terminally with a user-facing message instead of quietly creating a new remote session.

Details
  • Covers both the gone-pointer case and the no-pointer-at-all case.
  • Emits distinct telemetry for each failure shape.
  • The enabled state of the reattach-or-fail mode itself could not be resolved from the build.
Evidence

[remote-bridge] Reattach-or-fail: no reattach pointer for this init; failing terminally instead of minting fresh

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
