Getting this error:
Remote control unavailable
Failed to update remote control: RPC error -32603: Request session.remote.enable failed with message: Failed to set up remote session. Ensure the working directory is a GitHub repository and you are authenticated.
Had my agent summarize after lots of correcting attempts:
/remote consistently fails in Copilot app 1.1.19 on Windows, using CLI runtime 1.0.84-4, with RPC error -32603: “Failed to set up remote session. Ensure the working directory is a GitHub repository and you are authenticated.” The repository has a valid GitHub remote, and authenticated repository access works; removing and re-adding the project as a GitHub repository and signing out, fully restarting, and signing back in did not resolve it. Logs show a successful GitHub OAuth sign-in and repository fetch, followed by No authentication token available; remote export disabled when enabling remote control, suggesting an authentication-handoff issue between the app and remote-control runtime.
