Summary

Add the ability to send control commands like clear and context to the running Claude process directly from the phone app. Currently, these commands can only be issued from the terminal — the app should expose them as well.

Motivation

When using Claude Watch hands-free or away from the terminal, there's no way to:

• Clear the conversation history to start fresh
• Check context window usage
• Issue other slash commands that Claude supports

Having to switch to a terminal to manage the Claude session defeats the purpose of the mobile interface.

Proposed Solution

• Add a command palette or action buttons in the phone app UI for common commands:
  • Clear — reset conversation context
  • Context — show current context usage / token stats
  • Other useful commands as needed
• Server needs a new endpoint (or extend POST /api/message) to distinguish between regular messages and control commands
• The command results should be displayed in the chat or as a notification/toast

Implementation Notes

• claude_wrapper.py manages the persistent Claude process — commands need to be routed through it
• Could use a dedicated POST /api/command endpoint or a prefix convention (e.g., /clear, /context)
• The WebSocket usage event already provides context stats — context command could trigger a fresh emit
