ultraplan: Remote session create failed with 403 on Max subscription

[farbark]

Bug Report

Command: /ultraplan

Error: Remote session create failed: Request failed with status code 403

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.150
• OS: Windows 11
• Auth method: claude.ai
• Subscription: Max (confirmed via claude auth status)
• Repo visibility: Private (GitHub App installed, repo explicitly added)

Steps to reproduce

1. Run /ultraplan <any prompt> from a git repo with GitHub App installed
2. Session creation fails immediately with 403

What was tried

• Re-authenticated CLI (claude auth login)
• Added private repo to GitHub App repository access
• Removed orphaned npm global installation
• Verified Max subscription via claude auth status — returns "subscriptionType": "max"

Expected behavior

Remote session should launch on claude.ai/code

Actual behavior

Remote session create failed: Request failed with status code 403 — every attempt

exactly the same issue here but on macOS 26.5

I think i got a workaround (All done from the repo you want to run Ultraplan in:

1. Redo the /install-github-app setup from claude code
2. claude auth login -> Do the login process
3. start claude code
4. Start a remote control session: /remote-control
   Ultraplan should now work

For me, the fix was to remove the CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN set in my environment. Like /remote-control, it looks like /ultraplan doesn't support long-lived subscription tokens, but it doesn't have a nice error message.
