Description
### Describe the bug
The `--no-remote` flag is documented as "Disable remote control of your session from GitHub web and mobile", but it only sets remote to read-only instead of fully disconnecting it. The /remote off slash command correctly disconnects, but `--no-remote` does not match this behavior.
### Affected version
Copilot CLI v1.0.37
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Launch `copilot --no-remote`
2. Run `/remote` to check status
3. Observe: `Remote control status: read-only`
### Expected behavior
`/remote` should show `Remote control status: disconnected`, matching the behavior of `/remote off`.
### Additional context
There is also no persistent setting in `~/.copilot/settings.json` to default remote to disconnected, so users must run `/remote off` manually every session.
