Cause (Documented platform behavior): Remote Control clients cannot display the consent prompt; Claude Code closes it at the dialogExpiry deadline.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Misleading approaches:
- Resending from the Remote Control client — shows the same message again
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors#the-prompt-to-confirm-went-unanswered (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Docs: RC clients can't show the consent prompt; closes at dialogExpiry; before v2.1.236 it silently continued on the default model after 60s.
