Article

• Explains the local-agent / phone-control problem and enterprise constraints
• Documents the unified oc-remote CLI, Tailscale-only listener, ntfy plugin, exact-session links, and security boundary
• Covers the multi-instance plugin footgun
• Links the confirmed upstream project-picker issue (#41155 and related reports), its explicit workaround, and the direct fix in #41153
• Retains draft: true, so it does not appear on the published blog index

Interactive app

• Listed on /apps and hosted at /opencode-remote-control
• Uses a standalone OC REMOTE product shell and scoped Supabase-inspired theme
• Shows control-plane and notification-plane diagrams plus the complete event lifecycle
• Generates install, config.env, and launch commands from user-selected project root, port, ntfy server, and picker-workaround settings
• Stores only non-secret preferences in localStorage; the private ntfy topic is deliberately excluded
• Includes responsive desktop/mobile layouts and dedicated app artwork

Verification

• npm run lint - clean
• npx vitest run --maxWorkers=4 - 162 tests pass
• Targeted app/catalog tests - 9 tests pass
• Vite production build - passes (existing chunk-size warning only)
• Browser-tested desktop and 390px mobile diagrams and setup builder
• PR preview workflow verified on the rebased branch
