Recovering interrupted background tasks on restart now requires a remote session

**What

On startup, Claude Code can recover background tasks that were still running when a previous session was interrupted, controlled by the CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN setting. This recovery now also requires that the session is using remote transport, meaning it won't attempt this recovery for local sessions.
