Remote Control Spawn Mode Overhaul / Claude Code v2.1.72

What

The remote control --spawn-worktree-sessions and --spawn-same-dir-sessions flags are replaced with a unified --spawn <mode> flag and a new --capacity flag.

Usage

claude remote-control --spawn=worktree --capacity=4
claude remote-control --spawn=same-dir
claude remote-control --spawn=session

Details

--spawn accepts same-dir (default), worktree, or session
--capacity sets the max concurrent sessions (not valid with --spawn=session, which has fixed capacity 1)
New --create-session-in-dir / --no-create-session-in-dir flag controls whether a session is pre-created in the current directory
Interactive spawn mode picker (w to toggle spawn mode) when starting remote control
Spawn mode preference is saved per-project
Falls back to same-dir if saved mode is worktree but the directory isn't a git repo
Error message updated: "Error: Multi-session Remote Control is not enabled for your account yet."

Evidence

New spawn mode infrastructure (search for "spawn mode", "--spawn", "--capacity")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
