Since the desktop app auto-updated on 3 Sept 2026 (Windows 11, MSIX install, app 1.40609.1.0 -> 1.44121.2.0, bundled Claude Code CLI 2.1.255 -> 2.1.258 ), sessions spawned by the built-in scheduler ([CCDScheduledTasks]) are never connected to Remote Control. Interactive sessions started from the desktop still connect normally and show up in the mobile app. EDIT: the next update ( 2.1.261 ) of the windows desktop app did NOT solve the issue. Global setting “Connect new sessions to Remote Control” is enabled. Fully quitting and reopening the app did not change the behaviour. Evidence from %LOCALAPPDATA%\Claude\Logs\main.log: Before the update (2 Sept, every scheduled spawn): 2026-09-02 14:39:37 [CCDScheduledTasks] Spawning new session for scheduled task ticket-triage-incremental 2026-09-02 14:39:37 [rcAutoEnable] verdict: enable=true source=explicit_pref trigger=first_turn 2026-09-02 14:39:37 Enabling remote control for session local_e1c52813-… 2026-09-02 14:39:40 [remote-control] bridge_state: “connected” After the update (3 Sept, every scheduled spawn, e.g. 08:31, 09:09, 10:39, 11:09, 12:39, 13:09, 14:40): 2026-09-03 14:40:13 [CCDScheduledTasks] Spawning new session for scheduled task ticket-triage-incremental 2026-09-03 14:40:14 Starting local session local_50d972a8-… 2026-09-03 14:40:15 Mapping internal session local_50d972a8-… to CLI session 7fc88f46-… (no [rcAutoEnable] line, no “Enabling remote control”, no bridge_state line) Interactive session on the same build, same folder, minutes earlier: 2026-09-03 14:15:25 [rcAutoEnable] verdict: enable=true source=explicit_pref trigger=first_turn 2026-09-03 14:15:25 Enabling remote control for session local_d91b492a-… 2026-09-03 14:15:27 [remote-control] bridge_state: “connected” Impact: PushNotification calls inside scheduled sessions now return “Mobile push not sent (Remote Control inactive)”, so the scheduled workflows can no longer send decision cards to the phone, and the scheduled sessions do not appear in the mobile app’s Remote Control list. Expected: scheduled-task sessions should get the same rcAutoEnable evaluation as interactive sessions when the “Connect new sessions to Remote Control” preference is on, as they did on 1.40609 / CLI 2.1.255. submitted by /u/JohnMotoGr
