Music quits on Mac laptop when I connect to it from iTunes Remote on my iPhone

I can run Music on my laptop with no problems. When I select my Library in iTunes Remote on my iPhoe, Music on my Mac immediately quits with no messages or other complaints. No Apple helper pops up and asks if I want to send a crash report to Apple, so I assume that it is not crashing Music. I tried running Music in safe mode, and got the same behaviour. How do I restore the ability to control music playing on my Mac from my iPhone? I'm running Music 1.5.5.34 on my M1 Pro laptop running Sequoia 15.5, and iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 18.5.
