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)
- 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
- Cannot log in to Claude Code: verification emails suppressed for my address, support bot has no escalation path
- [BUG] VS Code extension blocks Fable 5 with "requires usage credits" while account has 20% of weekly Fable allowance remaining (Max plan)
- [BUG] Fable 5 gated behind usage credits dialog on Max when authenticated via claude setup-token (inference-only scope cannot read entitlements)
- Claude Desktop App Crashing After the Latest Update on Windows
- [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] Claude Desktop: external stdio MCP tools announced but never dispatched in Chat mode (zero tools/call) — Windows/macOS/Linux, all install types
- Fable 5 falsely walled behind usage credits in interactive picker for Max accounts using a setup-token (headless -p works)
- Windows: hidden Browser-pane preview kills the app via Code Integrity block on packaged vk_swiftshader.dll, then "Repair" dialog
- [BUG] Dispatch disabled in macOS Desktop app but works on mobile
- [BUG] Cannot purchase API credits — card authorization succeeds, purchase fails ("Payment failed") — Japan, multiple cards including a newly issued credit card
- Worktree sessions reuse an existing worktree directory from a previous session instead of creating a fresh one
- Claude will frequently "flip" to role playing as an abuser/narcicist in longer conversations
