Remote Control lets a session be driven from elsewhere, and Claude Code decides at startup whether to turn it on. Before, a persistent remote session always turned it on, and nothing else was checked first.
Claude Code now reads the organisation policy remote_control_at_startup first. A new check then comes before the persistent-session rule, and when it applies Remote Control stays off, with the organisation policy recorded as the reason when that policy is explicitly set to off. The last fallback is unchanged and is off unless it is switched on remotely.
In some cases a persistent remote session will no longer start Remote Control automatically.
