# crc — start a `claude rc` (Remote Control) server in a target dir on a target
# host, inside a durable tmux session so transport drops don't kill it.
#
# `claude rc` (= `claude remote-control`) is a persistent server: you start it
# in a directory, then drive sessions there from claude.ai/code or the Claude
# mobile app. It must keep running after you disconnect — so crc parks it in a
# named tmux session on the host (same durability trick as tssh/remote-run).
#
# This is for INTERACTIVE, ad-hoc use — you watch it connect, grab the URL, then
# detach (Ctrl-b d) and it keeps running until the host reboots. For servers
# that must survive a reboot, use a systemd --user unit running `claude rc`
# directly instead (see the claude-rc@ units on apricot).
#
# The tmux session name is derived from the directory, so re-running crc for the
# same host+dir RE-ATTACHES the existing server instead of starting a second
# one. Detach with Ctrl-b d; reattach with the same crc command.
#
# Usage:
#   crc                          # apricot.lan, mirror of $PWD
#   crc <host>                   # <host>, mirror of $PWD
#   crc <host> <dir>             # <host>, explicit dir (abs path or ~/...)
#   crc <host> <dir> -- <args>   # extra args passed to `claude rc`
#   crc -n ...                   # open a NEW iTerm window instead of current tab
#   crc -h | --help
#
# host may be any ssh target (alias, user@host, IP), or local/./localhost to run
# on this machine. When <dir> is omitted, $PWD is mirrored to the same path
# under the remote's $HOME (like rclaude); paths outside $HOME fall back to ~.
#
# Env:
#   CRC_HOST   default host when none given (default: apricot.lan)
