Feature Request: Secure Terminal-to-Mobile Relay (Remote Control)

• Goal: Provide a native way to interact with a terminal session from an iPhone/mobile device while away from the primary machine.
• Proposed Workflow:
  1. User runs /remote-control in the terminal.
  2. CLI generates a one-time secure QR code.
  3. User scans QR into a mobile app (or secure web wrapper).
  4. Mobile session relays prompts and displays agent output in real-time.
• Key Benefit: High-security remote management of long-running agent tasks (like bot monitoring or codebase refactoring) without the overhead/risk of open web terminals.
• Reference: Similar to the "Remote Control" functionality found in high-tier competitive tools.
