Would the client really except somebody else from your LTD company turning up for the day and doing your work?
You undertake pair programming as part of the contract (I’ve seen this advertised in many roles), is this a form of supervision, who knows?
The client tells you that you need to “do” a piece of code in a certain way to follow company practices, is this direction?
Your contract states you have been engaged to create a banking portal backend. The project is held up by 2 days, the client asks if you can help out on another project? Do you say no, I can’t or I would need a new contract? Or leave for those 2 days unpaid
“learning from and passing knowledge to like-minded and talented colleagues”
“Share and seek knowledge to enhance the output of the team”
“Work to deadlines”
“Share options in a rapidly growing company”
“You will need to work closely with our Senior Developer to successfully implement the company requirements”

Every "IT Contractor" who operates by accepting a contract as you've outlined above (which is virtually all contracts out there) are 99.9% likely to be inside IR35 as what the client really wants (and believes they are hiring) is a temporary permie and not a truly independent contractor.
The only ones that genuinely are independent are the freelancers. The ones that meet with the client, assess their requirements and needs, then go away and develop the necessary software/website/whatever entirely on thier (i.e. their Ltd's) own with no other influence from the client (save for status meetings, reviews, updates etc.) until the deliverables are finally delivered.
HTH.
