Remote sessions drop, never reconnect

“The app stopped all four active sessions, quit, restarted, and restored the sessions, but Remote Control was not re-established for any of them.”

No install. No account. Public and anonymous. The link asks your agent for one report, nothing else. What it sends

Fading. 6 reports and thumbs-up in the last 7 days and 9 the week before, down from 33 a week at the late-October peak. Not fixed, but the vendor replied, Nov 5.

What's included

  • Desktop bridge closes with code 4090 at the 12-hour ingress-token refresh and stays dead until app restart
  • Desktop auto-update (stealth) relaunch restores sessions without re-enabling Remote Control
  • Idle Code-tab sessions lose Remote Control; re-enabling says "requires an active session. Send a message first"
  • Archived then unarchived sessions stay pending/disconnected; the remote-control server never spawns a worker
  • After the server or desktop app restarts, old sessions show "environment was deleted" and cannot be continued

Not included

  • Remote Control failing to connect at all with HTTP 403
  • Forked sessions that never register with Remote Control
  • Prompts, questions, notifications or files that do not reach a connected remote client

  1. Desktop app: a Code session reopened after an app relaunch comes back with Remote Control off, despite "Connect new sessions to Remote Control"#103826
  2. [Desktop] Auto-update restart archives active Remote Control sessions and does not restore them#103005
  3. Desktop: Remote Control drops on every idle session and can't be re-enabled until a message is sent from the Mac#102534
  4. Remote Control: session shows "environment was deleted" after server exit; no way to re-attach to a new environment#101190
  5. Desktop app (Windows): Remote Control bridge never re-arms after an app restart/auto-update — session goes silent on mobile for hours and shows as archived, until the user types in the desktop app#100940

  7. Desktop: Remote Control is not restored after app update/restart for existing sessions, and sessions silently disappear from mobile while the app still reports "connected"#100590
  8. Windows: MSIX auto-update force-terminates Claude Desktop, killing active Code tab sessions and Remote Control (~every 2 days, not restored on relaunch)#100576
  9. claude remote-control server gets a new environment id on most restarts, so routines pinned to it die#100528
  10. Windows desktop: Remote Control not restored after app relaunch (silent update / restart), sessions show as archived on mobile#100114
  11. [Desktop] Auto-update relaunch drops all Remote Control sessions and they don't reconnect until opened locally#100106

  13. Remote Control: unarchived bridge session never reconnects (stuck "Connecting", host never spawns a worker)#99511
  14. Remote Control session disappears from the mobile Code#98879
  15. Remote Control: session on my PC becomes permanently unreachable (environment_deleted) after the desktop app was closed for a few hours#98583
  16. Bug: Remote Control doesn't survive app restarts or session eviction (Claude desktop, macOS)#98504

  18. Remote Control: unarchived server-mode sessions are never re-dispatched to the running host — messages hang at "Sending…", then "Claude Code on <machine> is offline"#98310
  19. Remote Control: --no-create-session-in-dir never writes bridge-pointer.json, so every restart rotates the environment and kills its live sessions#96346
  20. Auto-update force-quits the working desktop app again: session child processes killed (exit 127), Remote Control dropped, app unlaunchable until reboot - why is there still no user-chosen update timing?#96279

  22. Remote Control is not restored for sessions killed by a stealth auto-update#95491

  24. Desktop auto-update ("stealth update") quits and relaunches the app while the user is away, dropping every Remote Control session#95364
  25. Desktop (Windows): Remote Control is not restored after the app restarts for an auto-update, so idle sessions get paused and become unreachable#95296
