What

When the Remote Control connection is declined because of organization policy, Claude Code now says so directly with "Remote Control is disabled by your organization's policy. Contact your organization admin for access." and leaves the feature off, instead of counting it as a generic startup failure.

Details
  • Kept separate from the two existing outcomes: the session being held by another local process, and an unexplained empty result.
  • The refusal is logged and shown as a notice; it does not increment the failure counter used for ordinary connection failures.
  • What tells the client the policy denied it is decided outside the build.
Evidence

Remote Control is disabled by your organization's policy. Contact your organization admin for access., Init declined by org policy; leaving Remote Control off

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