[BUG] Remote control (/rc) not supported in VS Code extension #28951
Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- 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?
The Claude Code VS Code extension does not support the /rc (remote control) feature. When remote control is enabled by default in the CLI configuration, it is ignored when the CLI is invoked through the VS Code extension. The extension only exposes a subset of slash commands and /rc is not among them.
What Should Happen?
The VS Code extension should support remote control sessions, either via the /rc slash command or by respecting the CLI's default remote control configuration. Since the extension already uses the CLI under the hood, remote control functionality should be passed through to the extension.

Steps to Reproduce
- Enable remote control by default in Claude Code CLI configuration
- Open a terminal and run claude — remote control session is created as expected
- Open the Claude Code VS Code extension panel
- Note that no remote control session is created
- Try typing /rc in the extension — command is not available
