/remote-control crashes after hibernation in Claude Desktop
After a machine hibernates with an active Remote Control session, running /remote-control can fail because the local registration record is gone.
Failure mode
- The disconnect path dereferences the registration object without checking whether it still exists.
- The result is a TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'sessionurl').
- The phone-side session is left stranded in Archived/frozen state and still appears to claim a running process.
Expected behavior
Missing registration should be treated as “not connected”: the app should clean up local state and offer fresh registration instead of throwing.
The reporter says this is a desktop-state handling bug, not a model-specific issue.
