What

Remote Control lets a Claude Code session be driven from somewhere else, such as another app. Two new options were added to how it starts:

  • reportGateRefusalReason: when Remote Control is not enabled for you, Claude Code now fetches the reason and, if this option is set, reports it as a failure (onStateChange("failed", reason)). Before, it only logged remote_control_entry and returned nothing, so the attempt went silently nowhere.
  • skipAutoTitle: asks Remote Control not to give the session an automatically generated title.
  • Starting Remote Control from the SDK (the toolkit for driving Claude Code from other programs) now passes reportGateRefusalReason as true and also passes skipAutoTitle.
  • A new helper decides skipAutoTitle for a session component. It is true when Ct() holds or CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE is set, and tengu_concurrent_moonbeam is on. For that gate, the flag server returned off for this site's account and for the anonymous baseline; no reading has been taken under this release yet.

A new message also covers clearing the conversation mid-start: "The conversation was cleared while Remote Control was being enabled; send the request again".

Why

If you try Remote Control and it is not available to you, especially from the SDK, you can get an explanation instead of nothing happening. When the gate is on, setting CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE would also stop Remote Control sessions from being titled automatically.
