[BUG] Desktop/Cowork: choosing "How does this work?" in the "Enable hot reloading for this session?" question just shows the same question again

What's Wrong?
In a Cowork session in the Claude desktop app, Claude writes a mod into the session's dev-mods folder and the app asks "Enable hot reloading for this session?" with three options: "How does this work?", "Enable for this session" and "Not now".
Choosing "How does this work?" shows no explanation. The same three-option question appears again, every time it is chosen. The only way past it is "Enable for this session"; after that the mod loads and works.
What Should Happen?
"How does this work?" should explain what hot reloading does, then offer the same choice again.
Error Messages/Logs
None shown.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a Cowork session in the Claude desktop app on Windows.
- Ask Claude to make a mod, for example one that shows context window usage. Claude loads the plugin-authoring skill and writes the mod files into the session's dev-mods folder.
- The question "Enable hot reloading for this session?" appears with "How does this work?", "Enable for this session" and "Not now".
- Choose "How does this work?".
- The same question appears again with no explanation. Repeating step 4 gives the same result.
