Title: [Bug] Remote Control login fails to start on iPadOS 16.6 (Safari/WeChat) — "无法开始登录" at code-rc.kimi.com
What version of Kimi Code CLI is running?
0.39.1
Server environment
- Debian 12 (bookworm), x86_64, Alibaba Cloud ECS
- Remote Control enabled via KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_REMOTE_CONTROL=1, started with
kimi rc
Client environment (affected)
- iPad Air (5th generation), iPadOS 16.6
- Safari 16.6 and WeChat embedded browser — both affected
What issue are you seeing?
On the iPad, code-rc.kimi.com loads fine, but tapping the login button fails immediately with "无法开始登录 / 请检查网络连接后重试" (Unable to start login / please check your network). The login flow never starts — no redirect, no device code, nothing.
Control group
A desktop browser on the same Wi-Fi network completes the same Remote Control login without any issue, so this is client-specific, not network- or server-side.
Steps to reproduce
- Start Remote Control on the server (
kimi rc with the experimental flag).
- Open the code-rc.kimi.com link in Safari on iPadOS 16.6.
- Tap the login button → "无法开始登录".
What I already ruled out
- kimi.com main site works and is signed in on the same iPad
- "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking" disabled, "Block All Cookies" is off
- No content blockers installed, iCloud Private Relay not enabled
- Retried after each change; identical failure in WeChat's browser
Hypothesis
iPadOS 16.6 ships WebKit from mid-2023. The login initialization at code-rc.kimi.com may rely on newer Web APIs that Safari 16.6 lacks, and the failure surfaces as a generic network error. A minimum-browser-version check or a clearer error message would help.
Expected behavior
Remote Control login should work on iPad — chatting with / controlling a remote session from a tablet is a natural use case — or at minimum fail with an actionable message.
