What
When Remote Control fails to start, the reply is now "Remote Control initialization failed" rather than the raw internal reason, and the reason is recorded to telemetry first. Staging a file does the same. Reads, plan fetches, workspace diffs and file suggestions now reply through a reporter tagged with the request name instead of stringifying the exception, and an unknown request subtype is escaped before it is echoed back.
Evidence
Remote Control initialization failed
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
