What

A remote session gained a new askToAnnounce method that sends a request over the control channel (marked as a device hook) and quietly swallows errors if it fails. Once a session's remote tools are admitted (remoteToolsAdmission?.admitted === true), the session now registers this askToAnnounce as its announce-permission provider on the control channel, replacing an older inline cancel-handling block that previously always ran.

Why

This gives remote sessions a proper permission-asking path for the 'announce' hook, tied to whether the session's tools have actually been admitted, instead of an older always-on fallback.
