Before, it only logged `remote_control_entry` and returned nothing, so the attempt went silently nowhere.\n\n- `skipAutoTitle`: asks Remote Control not to give the session an automatically generated title.\n\n- Starting Remote Control from the SDK (the toolkit for driving Claude Code from other programs) now passes `reportGateRefusalReason` as true and also passes `skipAutoTitle`.\n\n- 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.\n\nA new message also covers clearing the conversation mid-start: \"The conversation was cleared while Remote Control was being enabled; send the request again\".\n\n**Why**\n\nIf 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.\n\n- Area: Remote Control\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
