What

Options placed before the verb, as in claude --verbose remote-control, used to be quietly dropped. The command now checks them against a list of options it can safely carry over and stops with an error naming the rest, so nothing you typed is silently ignored.

Details
  • Carried over: verbose, debug, model, pluginDir, dangerouslySkipPermissions, enableAutoMode, bare and others.
  • If --permission-mode was among the rejected options, the message tells you to run claude remote-control --permission-mode <mode> instead.
  • The verb also exits with a specific error when the managed setting disableRemoteControl is on, and again when the org policy allow_remote_control denies it.
  • A blocking trusted-device preflight runs before the bridge starts; on failure, event logging and Datadog are flushed against a 500ms timeout before exit.
Usage
claude remote-control --permission-mode plan
Evidence

Error: Remote Control is disabled by your organization's policy (managed setting disableRemoteControl).

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

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up remote-control, on Claude Code changelog. * Fixed Remote Control sessions served by `claude remote-control` showing a generated name instead of their session title in `ListAgents` changelog see the edit
Added since A small documentation edit on Continue local sessions from any device with Remote Control touched a line naming remote-control after this was published. All traffic travels through the Anthropic API over TLS, the same transport security as any Claude Code session. The connection uses multiple short-lived credentials, each scoped to a single purpose and expiring independently. When a `claud… remote-control see the edit
