Remote-control bridge remembers active sessions across restarts

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal3
Remote Control

The remote-control bridge saves its active sessions and picks them back up after a restart.

What

claude remote-control now saves the session IDs it is currently servicing when it shuts down for an upgrade, reload or yield, and re-queues them on the next start. Sessions survive a restart instead of being dropped.

Details
  • The IDs and a timestamp are stored in the bridge pointer file, capped by MAX_POINTER_ACTIVE_SESSION_IDS.
  • They are only re-queued if the stamp is still within PERSISTED_SESSION_RESUME_WINDOW_MS.
  • Pointer writes are serialized through a write queue; clearing the pointer stops the hourly refresh, which now also drops stale session lists.
  • Only applies to runs that own the pointer and preserve state on shutdown.
