Most discussed new issues
- [Windows] Desktop app 1.24012.1: fatal GPU-process crash (0x060C201E) via in-app Browser tab; crash leaves MSIX package unlaunchable (appxState=2) until Repair
- [BUG] Fable 5 prompts 'usage credits required' on Max plan from 2026-07-20, the day it became standard on Max (saved model claude-fable-5[1m])
- [BUG] macOS: Claude Desktop never dispatches tools/call to the first-party Filesystem extension (tools/list succeeds, no tools/call in any log)
- [BUG] v2.1.219 `heron_brook` prompt section injects "Do not call the AgentTool unless the user requested it" for Opus 5 only, silently overriding user-configured delegation policy, with no opt-out
- [BUG] Claude Desktop MSIX: CIG (MicrosoftSignedOnly) + vendor-signed vk_swiftshader.dll kills GPU process on every browser preview (0x060C201E)
- [BUG] Max 20x upgrade not reflected in weekly limits — depleting at Max 5x rate or worse (upgraded July 16, 2026)
- Cannot log in to Claude Code: verification emails suppressed for my address, support bot has no escalation path
- Regression in 2.1.217: "Last Activity" (activity-days) filter missing when grouping sessions by Project
- [BUG] GPU process crash (exitCode 101457950) kills Claude Desktop and corrupts MSIX package when Opus 5 performs an in-page browser action (Windows 11)
- [BUG] Claude Desktop MSIX 1.24012.9: opening the in-app Browser pane crashes the whole app - GPU process exits with 101457950 (0x60C201E) on Intel HW, NVIDIA HW and WARP software rendering alike
- [Desktop] iOS Simulator panel: claude-ios-sim crash-loops in Metal/CoreImage on macOS 27.0 beta — panel stuck on 'Attach a simulator'
- Desktop app: support custom themes / accent colors (parity with CLI custom theme system)
- [BUG] macOS: filesystem-class MCP tool calls silently dropped between approval gate and local server dispatch — survives app rollback, extension reinstall, new connector identity (started 2026-07-21→22 with no local change)
- [BUG] VS Code extension blocks Fable 5 with "requires usage credits" while account has 20% of weekly Fable allowance remaining (Max plan)
- Worktree sessions reuse an existing worktree directory from a previous session instead of creating a fresh one
- [BUG] Fable 5 gated behind usage credits dialog on Max when authenticated via claude setup-token (inference-only scope cannot read entitlements)
- Task-list tools (TaskCreate/TaskUpdate/TaskList/TaskGet) no longer exposed to the model after recent update (tasks still visible in UI)
- [BUG] Claude Desktop: external stdio MCP tools announced but never dispatched in Chat mode (zero tools/call) — Windows/macOS/Linux, all install types
- [BUG] Model continues past end of turn, emitting a fabricated user turn and a fabricated system-reminder block inside its own assistant message
- [FEATURE] Setting to disable automatic editor group locking in the VS Code extension
