  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

When running /remote-control in Claude Code CLI, a session URL is generated (https://claude.ai/code/session_XXXX). Opening that URL immediately shows the error "This session could not be found. It may have been deleted or you may not have access."

This happens both on desktop browser and on mobile (Claude app and browser). The terminal shows the session as active, but the URL is unreachable right after being generated.

What Should Happen?

The session URL generated by /remote-control should open successfully in a browser or the Claude mobile app, allowing the user to continue the session remotely.

Error Messages/Logs

Browser error: "This session could not be found. It may have been
  deleted or you may not have access."

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code in the terminal (CLI).
  2. Run /remote-control.
  3. Copy the generated session URL (format: https://claude.ai/code/session_XXXXX).
  4. Open the URL in a browser while logged in to claude.ai.
  5. The page shows "session not found" error immediately.

Note: The issue occurs even on desktop browser, not only on mobile.
