Two manual steps remain (one time):

  1. Enable the Python API:
     iTerm2 → Settings → General → Magic → ✓ Enable Python API

  2. Bind Ctrl+V:
     iTerm2 → Settings → Keys → Key Bindings → +
       Keyboard Shortcut: ⌃V
       Action:            Invoke Script Function
       Function call:     remote_paste(session_id: id)

Then start it now without restarting iTerm2:
  Scripts (menu bar) → AutoLaunch → remote_paste.py
(It auto-starts on every iTerm2 launch from here on.)
